Why is recycling important to the Earth?

Councils all over the world are getting involved with recycling. They are providing bins and collections points to empty these bins and take them to the recycling plants. This helps reduce the amount of raw materials being used by breaking down the waste and re-using it instead of new materials. It is more cost effective and energy saving in most cases. On average each house in the UK produces around 30.5 million tonnes of waste each year. 17% of this is recycled which is a low value.
