How can recycling save energy

Recycling can save energy by:

Reducing the need for raw materials: Extracting and processing raw materials, such as ores, timber, and oil, requires significant amounts of energy. Recycling these materials reduces the demand for raw materials, which in turn reduces the energy needed to extract and process them.
Conserving energy used in manufacturing: Manufacturing products from recycled materials requires less energy than manufacturing them from virgin materials. For example, making aluminum cans from recycled aluminum uses only 5% of the energy required to make them from raw aluminum.
Lowering the energy used in transportation: Recycling materials reduces the weight and volume of waste that needs to be transported to landfills or incinerators. This lowers the energy consumed by trucks and other vehicles used in the transportation process.
Generating renewable energy: Some recycled materials, such as paper and plastic, can be used to generate renewable energy through processes like incineration and anaerobic digestion. This energy can be used to power homes and businesses, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
