Waste management involves collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, or disposing of waste produced by human activity to reduce its impact on health, aesthetics, and the environment. Recycling recovers materials from waste that would otherwise be discarded so that the raw materials can be used again. Common waste materials are collected, sorted, and recycled so that the raw materials from items like paper, plastic, and metal can be reused rather than ending up in landfills.

Renewable & Non-Renewable Resources

Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or


disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an
effort to reduce their effect on human health or local aesthetics or amenity. A sub
focus in recent decades has been to reduce waste materials' effect on the
natural world and the environment and to recover resources from them.
Recycling means to recover for other use a material that would otherwise be
considered waste. The popular meaning of ‘recycling’ in most developed
countries has come to refer to the widespread collection and reuse of various
everyday waste materials. They are collected and sorted into common groups, so
that the raw materials from these items can be used again.
