Hello and welcome! The benefits of recycling extend far beyond Houston local communities and is a must, if we are to create a healthier life and planet for ourselves, family, and pets. We must not forget that the three pillars of sustainability includes environmental, social and economical, each having a direct impact on everything we do. While there are others, here are just a few of the significant benefits of recycling:
Recycling reduces the need to extract resources such as timber, water, and minerals for new products. In addition, it Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to the most recent EPA data, the recycling and composting of municipal solid waste (MSW or trash) saved over 193 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018. Recycling also Conserve Energy.
Recycling just 10 plastic bottles saves enough energy to power a laptop for more than 25 hours. To estimate how much energy you can save by recycling certain products, EPA developed the individual Waste Reduction Model (iWARM). Further more, recycling eliminates the need to make new materials from scratch, thereby conserving a significant amount of energy. Recycling diverts waste away from landfills and incinerators, which reduces the harmful effects of pollution and emissions. The EPA confirmed that the economic benefits of recycling strengthen the economic by providing:
681,000 jobs
$37.8 billion in wages
$5.5 billion in tax revenues.
