Recycling is the processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable. This helps to conserve energy and reduce the consumption of natural sources such as timber, glass and steel. One of the best ways to save the environment is to recycle used product. It is important to recycle, so as to avoid environmental harm. Used papers, glass, aluminium cans can be effectively recycled to make useful items for building materials. Recycling is also very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill areas. The pollution caused by educed by recycling. Deforestation has caused habitat des and global warming. Likewise, huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Less energy is required when recycling and so practicing recycling can help to preserve natural resources. (Kate Pullen, December 2011)
Recycled timbers are one of the good choices of recycle material to construct buildings. It can be reused, reclaimed or recycled. Recycle timber most commonly come from old bridges, buildings and etc... Thus, the prices of recycled timbers are lower than the new woods but we are still able to construct a new building with the recycled timbers. Other than that, recycling timber ultimately benefit the environment such as reduce global issues and reduce global warming. For example, it can reduce air pollution by stops the timbers going into landfill and disintegration emitting methane gas into the environment.
3R`s are the essential components of environmentally – responsible consumer behavior “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle”Making a new product requires a lot of energy and materials, but less energy is used in recycling products. It prevents waste from being sent to landfill, hence reduces our impact on climate change.
