03 Jan The Evolution of Recycling
The Concept of Recycling Has Undergone a Sea Change
Of late, the entire idea behind waste collection and management has undergone an overhaul. Earlier, the idea behind waste management was confined to the safe disposal of waste, but now, waste management also takes into consideration the concept of waste recycling.
With the costs of production rising at a brisk pace, recycling has become an integral part of waste management. Instead of disposing-off redundant equipment, we now recycle them and put them to use over and over again.
Today, recycling has evolved from being a household practice to become a concept that is undertaken by industries and business houses in order to conserve the environment. The likes of metals, paper, cloth, wood, electronics, etc. are put to recycle quite frequently.
Things That Can Be Recycled:
- Metal
- Paper
- Textiles
- Electronics
- Plastic (to some extent)
- Glass

It is quite heartening to see that recycling has become an important part of modern corporate house’s business strategy. Companies in the United States, Canada, and other developed nations have taken giant strides in their bid to establish and implement state-owned systems of recycling. The concept of recycling began in the United States in the early part of the 20th century. Today, it has evolved as an industry witnessing an influx of thousands and millions of dollars.
What Does The Future Have In Store?
In a bid to encourage sustainable development, recycling is now being encouraged by governments all over the world. The process of recycling is still in its infancy, but with investments flowing rapidly along with a renewed focus on environmental conservation, it certainly won’t be an overstatement to say that it is only a matter of time before recycling is embraced by the developing world for the greater good of the mankind and the environment.
