Answer 1

Explanation:Benefits of Recycling

1)Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators.

2)Conserves natural resources such as timber, water and minerals.

3)Increases economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials.

4)Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials.

Saves energy.

We can separate it by using electromagnets

Answer 2

Answer:

Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community, the economy and the environment. Recycling one ton of office paper can save the energy equivalent of consuming 322 gallons of gasoline.  

Recycling just one ton of aluminum cans conserves more than 152 million Btu, the equivalent of 1,024 gallons of gasoline or 21 barrels of oil consumed.  

Plastic bottles are the most recycled plastic product in the United States as of 2015, according to our most recent report. Recycling just 10 plastic bottles saves enough energy to power a laptop for more than 25 hours. When we make new products out of virgin materials, we expend energy to extract and process those materials. This includes burning fossil fuels. However, if we manufacture products using recycled materials, we reduce the need for virgin materials and save the energy required to extract and process them. Putting items in the recycling bin that can’t be recycled can contaminate the recycling stream. After these unrecyclable items arrive at recycling centers, they can cause costly damage to the equipment. Additionally, after arriving at recycling centers, they must be sorted out and then sent to landfills, which raises costs for the facility. That is why it is important to check with your local recycling provider to ensure that they will accept certain items before placing them into a bin.

Some items may also be accepted at retail locations or other at local recycling centers.   Furthermore, some recycling providers require different types of materials to be collected in separate bins (multi-stream recycling), whereas other providers may accept different types of materials that are put together in the same bin (single-stream recycling).
