How does recycling affect Climate Change?

Recycling affects climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through decreased energy use, reduced resource extraction, and lower landfill contributions.

Want to Know More

Recycling conserves energy and materials, which reduces the burning of fossil fuels during manufacturing and lowers carbon dioxide emissions. For example, producing aluminum from recycled cans uses up to 95% less energy than producing it from raw ore. Recycling also diverts organic waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions. While it is not a complete solution to climate change, recycling is a key strategy within broader sustainable waste management and circular economy practices.
