Importance To People

Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living in them

• No space for waste. Our landfill sites are filling up fast, by 2010, almost all landfills  will be full.

• Reduce financial expenditure in the economy. Making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.

• Preserve natural resources for future generations. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials; it also uses less energy, therefore preserving natural resources for the future.
