The role of recycling in resource conservation and environmental protection
Recycling offers a pathway to sustainable resource management, helping to reduce waste and lessen environmental impact.

Issues like toxicity and microplastic pollution complicate the recycling process, and most plastics can only be recycled once or twice, limiting their reuse potential.
