• From an economic point of view, used plastic can
  be considered as both a vital source of valuable
  chemicals, mainly hydrocarbons, and an energy
  source. The calorific value of most plastics is
  similar to that of fuel oils and higher than that
  of coals. And also, it has the following
  benefits
• Saves raw materials
• Reduce landfills and fires
• Reduce impact on climate changes
• Creates jobs
• Helps us towards sustainable living

Saves raw materials

• Plastic recycling reduces the need of raw
  materials by providing a feedstock for making new
  products and substitutes recycled material for an
  equivalent amount of virgin plastic, thus
  reducing our impact on the environment.
• Recycling a ton of plastic saves the equivalent
  of 3.8 barrels of oil.

4
Reduce Landfills

• Because of their resistance to degradation,
  plastic materials exist for a long time when
  disposed of in landfills. Moreover, the slow
  degradation of plastics is responsible for the
  progressive reduction of landfill capacity. The
  risk of accidental fires with highly polluting
  emissions is increased in landfills containing
  large amounts of plastics.
• Plastic wastes account for about 25 of all solid
  wastes accumulated in landfills. Upon recycling,
  you can reduce this rate and the accidental
  fires.

5
Reduce impact on Environment

• Plastics give off a lot of harmful chemicals that
  can harm the environment to a large extent.
• Recycling plastic saves five times the energy
  created by burning or decomposing it thus
  reducing the negative impact on the environment

6
Creates more job opportunities

• Incineration and landfill benefits no one instead
  causes serious problems, whereas the process of
  recycling and composting, from collection to the
  sorting and reprocessing of recyclables creates a
  lot of jobs.
• Studies have estimated that for every ton
  recycled 5.9 jobs are created.

7
Helps us towards sustainable living

• For homeowners, plastic recycling is one of the
  easiest ways to reduce their impact on the
  environment and introduces a GREEN
  consciousness to daily life. Also, it creates a
  cyclic way of living rather than the current
  linear model, and will help us develop
  sustainably.
