Recycling
Recycling is the process of collecting, sorting and processing materials that would otherwise become waste so they can be used again as raw materials or products. It plays an important role in reducing waste, conserving natural resources, reducing the need for virgin materials and supporting the transition to a circular economy
SustainabilityOnline explores how organisations are improving collection and recycling systems, increasing the use of recycled content, developing new recovery technologies and responding to changing requirements around packaging and waste. We also examine developments in resource efficiency, extended producer responsibility, emissions, sustainable manufacturing and the role of recycling in wider corporate sustainability strategies.
Related topics: recycling, waste management, waste reduction, circular economy, recycled content, recycled materials, plastics recycling, packaging recycling, battery recycling, textile recycling, waste recovery, resource efficiency, extended producer responsibility (EPR), packaging, sustainable manufacturing, recycling technology, materials recovery, corporate sustainability and ESG.
