Recycle Whenever Possible!
|
|
- If a product cannot be reused, then you should RECYCLE it wherever possible.
- Recycling is the process of using waste material to manufacture a new product.
- Recycling waste means that fewer new products and consumables need to be produced,
saving raw materials and reducing energy consumption.
