Recycle for the Lifecycle

                 Definition of Recycling

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. The recovery of energy from waste materials is often included in this concept. The recyclability of a material depends on its ability to reacquire the properties it had in its original state.

    Ways recycling can help in our society

*Recycling Reduces Petroleum Use 

One of the main components of plastics is petroleum, which is extracted from crude oil.

Where does a lot of crude oil come from? The ocean, where it is extracted through drilling.

*Recycling Helps Protect Wildlife

Protecting the ocean is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, as most marine plant and animal species can’t live anywhere else.

Plastic pollution in the oceans threatens the safety and survivability of many ocean species due to the ingestion of straws, plastic bags, and other debris.

*Recycling Lowers Ocean Acidification 

Another problem that is affecting sea life is ocean acidification.

This is caused by an increase in carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere as a result of human activity.

*Recycling Reduces Climate Change  

The world’s oceans are at the forefront of climate change. Reducing the impacts of climate change is another way that recycling can help the oceans.

The reason is that recycling a product uses less energy than creating that same product from raw materials.
