Benefits Of Recycling
In today’s world the stress of day to day life seems to be getting greater and greater with the added pressure of doing the right thing environmentally often being one demand too many. At Reciproc8™ we understand this and have designed our schemes to be easy to implement and manage.
Recycling is a state of mind that requires a shift in focus from being an activity that other people undertake to one that that is incorporated into our daily lives. When people think of recycling most bring to mind images of bottles, cans and paper but very few people think of Consumer Electronics.

Landfill reductionRecycling keeps materials out of landfills. Materials in landfills can decompose releasing toxins into the environment, one of these being methane gas. Methane gas is a greenhouse gas that is 20 to 30 times more dangerous to the environment than carbon dioxide |
|
|
Incinerator ReductionWaste combustion from incinerators can release greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Recycling can reduce these emissions by keeping materials out of incinerators. |

|
Saving Natural ResourcesMan’s ecological footprint exceeds the planet’s regenerative capacity by about 30%. Mankind’s demand on the planet more than doubling over the past 45 years due to population growth and increasing individual consumption |

|
Energy consumption reductionManufacturing paper, plastics, glass and metal from recycled materials requires less energy than manufacturing these products from virgin materials because the recycled materials have already been processed. |
