Recycling of wastes reduces the amount of waste ending up in landfills. If it can be reused why wouldn't you?
Recycling things for instance metals, reduces the mining of news ores. i e if you mix 50% recycled iron with 50% fresh iron ore you would rely a lot less on digging up fresh iron ore.
This lessens the overall environmental impact of everything that we do.
Another example, film used in photography...
the development process uses a chemical process. The left over mix of chemicals is hazardous waste. Now this waste has a lot of silver. Well using an electical process you can remove the silver from the liquid, and then neutralize the rest. This "reclaimed" silver can then be reused.
There is a way to recycle almost anything, the problem is the cost effectiveness of the process.
