Advantages of Recycling
Recycling of used packaging has many advantages, among them the reduction of the amount of waste deposited in landfills, preventing the need to build more landfills and the preservation of natural resources, since the recyclable waste after treated is transformed into raw material, which can be used in the process of producing new products.
