recycled at specialised recycling facilities. These items are broken into small parts,
melted, and then reassembled as a completely new and functional product over there.

3. The various favoured options of people for recycling as shown in the graph start from
reduce (lowering the amount of waste produced), then come reuse (using materials

repeatedly), recycle (using waste materials to make new products), recovery (recovering
energy from waste), and the least favoured option is landfill (safe disposal of waste
to landfill).
4. Many items can be recycled at home by turning them into useful and enjoyable art projects.

Cutting the tops off metal cans or plastic bottles, for example, can be used to make pencil
stands. To ensure that recycled items are sent to recycling centres, we can sort our garbage
into dry and wet waste at home. There are also other ways to recycle, and we should
still strive to recycle as much as possible.
