Why Recycle?

Reducing what we use and recycling materials reduces the need to dig up or mine new raw materials, which often damages the surrounding environment.
Making new goods out of recycled material saves energy. For example, making new aluminium cans from recycled cans uses 20 times less energy than making cans from raw material.
