Answer 2

Explanation:

Waste glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, and metals are recycled in order to take advantage of the materials and to minimize the environmental impact – less energy or water consumption, less air pollution or reduction of greenhouse gases. Unlike these materials, organic matter is mainly recycled due to its high potential to have an impact on the environment, despite it being a resource that is used as compost.
