Recycling paper and cardboard is important because it reduces the amount of trees that have to be cut down for their manufacture. Magazines, old newspapers, cereal boxes, shoe boxes… all can be recycled to help reduce the overexploitation of natural resources. The color to identify the containers to which these wastes should be destined is yellow.
This material can be reused again through a waste washing process or through melting and can be 100% recycled an indefinite number of times. To do so, it must be separated from the rest of the materials.
These wastes should never be thrown in the trash with the rest of the wastes because they have highly polluting and toxic components, so it is very important to take them to the specific hazardous waste containers for batteries that are located in different points such as squares or shopping malls.
Clogged drains represent an imminent risk of flooding during the rainy season, the accumulation of waste dragged by the water causes the obstruction of the drains, which is one of the main reasons for puddles every time there is a rainfall. In addition to remembering not to throw garbage in the streets.
Recyclable materials and their use
But also, supporting industrial recycling, all beer and soda cans can be used to create numerous objects later on (sports products, t-shirts, plastic watches, combs, mirrors, and a thousand other things).in fact the best example we can give you of a recyclable material is plastic, surely the computer or computer where you are now looking at this text is made of 100% recyclable materials such as recycled plastics.
Paper is another great example of a material that can be easily recycled into new creative forms of products such as novel books, school books or a phone book, to name a few examples.We can all help to recycle, get to work and start helping the planet we live in.Here is a list of recyclable and non-recyclable materials.RecyclablePapers:Newspapers: they are perfect for recycling, as we all have or have had newspapers in our home, and once you read them they lose their value in reality.

When the waste generated is processed and transformed, we can obtain raw materials, which will be used in new manufacturing processes. In this way, recycling helps to eliminate the waste generated, to save in industrial processes and to reduce the exploitation of natural resources.
It refers to all techniques and processes that include manual or machine-assisted work. This type of recycling is widely used in mixed waste sorting and plastic recycling.
It includes techniques and procedures that involve changing the chemical structure of the material. Its purpose is the decomposition of the polymer to obtain monomers. This type of recycling is used through dissolution, hydrolysis, hydrogenation…
This type of recycling is used in materials whose purpose is energy recovery and whose waste cannot be sorted and recovered, so, due to this technical or economic impossibility, they are used in this way. Examples of these are waste incineration, pyrolysis and gasification.
Materials that can be reduced
Giving a new life to used materials, reducing the consumption of resources and avoiding the degradation of the planet are some of the reasons why it is important to recycle the most common products we use on a daily basis.
All products made of paper or cardboard should go to the blue garbage can to be recycled and thus help reduce the overexploitation of forests, from which the cellulose from which they are made comes. Old magazines and newspapers, cereal and shoe boxes, wrapping paper and used notebooks are among the candidates for recycling.
It is therefore important to separate them from other waste and deposit them in the green container for glass bottles such as wine or soft drinks, glass bottles such as perfumes or colognes and food jars such as jams or preserves, among others.
Batteries and batteries have highly polluting components, so they should be taken to special containers for hazardous waste or to the nearest clean point. They are found in the TV remote control, the computer mouse or the razor, among many other electrical appliances, and should never be thrown away in the regular garbage.
