What is recycling?

Subscriber Access

Recycling is the process of reclaiming discarded materials. Its goal is to reintroduce them into the production chain to continue generating value and enable their reuse, enhancing the preservation of natural resources and improving quality of life. It is considered one of the most efficient alternatives for managing solid waste from both an environmental and social standpoint, and is directly integrated into the framework of the circular economy.
