Recycling
The production of material and the supply of energy for this purpose lead to resource exhaustion and environmental pollution. It is relatively easy to discard natural materials with low energy value and no synthetic additives and they easily enter into the substance cycle. Whereas it is difficult to recycle materials that are hard to separate (materials processed with adhesives and dyes). The degradation of synthetic materials in nature is complicated and disturbs the natural substance cycle.
By means of recycling the depletion of new raw materials in nature can be prevented and the energy that is used to process the latter can be saved. In the case of used materials we should always prefer their recycling, secondly processing and thirdly incineration; it is necessary to know the composition of materials when recycling them in order to avoid possible pollution of air, water or soil as well as unexpected material deterioration.
