Recycling is an increasingly important subject with global warming and climate change. Waste management programs allow countries to recycle materials in order to reuse them, this means they don’t have to rely as much on raw materials.

With the use and introduction of efficient recycling schemes there is less litter in local environments and communities and less waste produced in total.
