Timothy Grady. (2019). the benefits of recycling.
Recycling and Extended Producer
Responsibility
, 123-144.

In this article,
Timothy Grady (2019),
expresses worry over the factors contributing to
global warming, such as greenhouse gas emissions, and explains why we must intensify our
efforts to protect the environment. It lists pollution as one of the main issues that persists today
and significantly contributes to environmental devastation. After that, he exhorts readers to
encourage recycling because it may significantly contribute to environmental preservation. In the
article, some advantages of doing this are described. They include conserving resources, cutting
pollution, saving energy, and lessening the amount of area needed for trash disposal. I'll utilize
the article from benefits-of-Recycling to inspire users to take recycling a bit more seriously. I'll
be able to demonstrate some of the advantages of doing this in the essay as well.

W. (2018). Environmental impacts of paper recycling.
Technology of
Paper Recycling
, 371-393.

This journal article examines the impact that paper recycling has on the environment.
They point out that recycling paper lessens the environmental burden. For instance, utilizing
recycled fiber to make paper uses less energy
(McKinney, 2018)
. The article also highlights the
fact that recycled paper is being consumed more often. This indicates that an increasing number
of individuals are becoming worried and conscious about their impact on the environment. It's
also vital to remember that recycled paper is more affordable than paper made from virgin fiber. I
will utilize the journal article to demonstrate the advantages of recycling in contrast to paper and
clarify why it is better (cheaper and with less of an impact on the environment)
(McKinney,
2018)

Hussain,
C.
M., Singh,
S., & Go swami,
L. (2021).
Emerging trends to approaching zero waste:
Environmental and social perspectives
. Elsevier.
This book discusses solid waste and its impact on the environment and society. She also
discusses the advancements made in recycling and the difficulties encountered while addressing
the problem of solid waste. In the past, groups took action to keep the environment clean and
safe because they were really worried about the garbage. In more recent times, businesses that
create goods that eventually become a component of solid trash obstruct this process. They work
to stop the implementation of stricter and more effective regulations against solid waste since
those regulations would interfere with their business operations and result in lower or no profits
for them. In general, the book demonstrates that because to these difficulties, recycling targets
are not being realized
(Hussain et al., 2021)
. Recycling is increasingly used by businesses as a
ruse to appear environmentally conscious while still making items that have the opposite effect.
I'll use this book to explain the difficulties recycling faces in terms of trash management and
manufacturing regulations.

This brief article on the web lists the top five advantages of recycling rubbish. It provides
a summary of these advantages, which include reducing pollution on the planet and ozone layer,
protecting our natural resources and ensuring that they are available for future generations,
generating employment opportunities for those responsible for garbage collection, sorting, and
recycling, raising awareness through the ripple effect that such an endeavor creates, and lowering
costs and resource use by reducing reliance on raw materials
(Biron, 2020)
. In this essay, I'll
discuss the importance of recycling and some of the environmental advantages of doing so.

Schmidt,
S., & Laner,
D. (2020). Material flow analysis of recycling systems.
Handbook of the
Circular Economy
.

This book explains whether the recycling systems genuinely achieve their stated
environmental preservation objectives. They examine several strategies used in the city of
Chicago to accomplish this. They discover that while recycling may have the capacity to
accomplish its objectives, the measures in place are insufficient for this. They also learned that
the recycling industry has changed into a lucrative business for big private businesses, which is
eroding recycling's original meaning and intent. Because it is based on the authors' years of
study, this book offers an authoritative source
(Schmidt & Laner, 2020)
. I'll use this book to
demonstrate that recycling techniques are no longer as successful as we once believed. It will
allow me to support the website post by demonstrating how businesses are now entering the area
for financial gain rather than out of concern for the environment.
