Abstract: Recycling is one of the first eco-friendly moves that people like to make for the environment sustainability but when it comes to what items can be recycled and how that often leads to lots of confusion. Recycling aids in combating climate change while also conserving raw materials, reducing litter and the need for landfill space, as well as generating jobs, lowering greenhouse gas emission, reduces energy use and promoting community involvement. Even though we know various advantages of recycling but it is not carried out on large scale. In addition to global problems we’re seeing with waste today, the production and mismanagement of consumer goods is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change and on the other hand it is also an expensive process. The cost of recycling can vary depends on the efficiency of the recycling program and on demand for recycled materials. In some cases, the cost of recyclable materials also exceeds the cost of raw materials. Sometimes the recycling of waste equipment can create a significant amount of pollution. Thus the process isn’t as helpful as we think, Recycling alone isn’t enough to say, fight climate change or eliminate pollution and not a quick solution of a complicated problem.
