This concept often includes the <a href="/wiki/Energy_recycling" title="Energy recycling">recovery of energy from waste materials</a>. The recyclability of a material depends on its ability to reacquire the properties it had in its original state.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower <a href="/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions" title="Greenhouse gas emissions">greenhouse gas emissions</a>. It can also prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy use, <a href="/wiki/Air_pollution" title="Air pollution">air pollution</a> (from <a href="/wiki/Incineration" title="Incineration">incineration</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Water_pollution" title="Water pollution">water pollution</a> (from <a href="/wiki/Landfill" title="Landfill">landfilling</a>). Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "<a href="/wiki/Waste_minimisation" title="Waste minimisation">Reduce</a>, <a href="/wiki/Reuse" title="Reuse">Reuse</a>, and Recycle" <a href="/wiki/Waste_hierarchy" title="Waste hierarchy">waste hierarchy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Lienig_&_Bruemmer_2017-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-ECWaste-3">[3]</a> It promotes environmental <a href="/wiki/Sustainability" title="Sustainability">sustainability</a> by removing raw material input and redirecting waste output in the economic system.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> There are some <a href="/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization" title="International Organization for Standardization">ISO standards</a> related to recycling, such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and <a href="/wiki/ISO_14001" class="mw-redirect" title="ISO 14001">ISO 14001</a>:2015 for environmental management control of recycling practice. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, <a href="/wiki/Tire" title="Tire">tires</a>, <a href="/wiki/Textile" title="Textile">textiles</a>, batteries, and <a href="/wiki/Electronics" title="Electronics">electronics</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Composting" class="mw-redirect" title="Composting">composting</a> and other reuse of <a href="/wiki/Biodegradable_waste" title="Biodegradable waste">biodegradable waste</a>—such as <a href="/wiki/Food_waste" class="mw-redirect" title="Food waste">food</a> and <a href="/wiki/Green_waste" title="Green waste">garden waste</a>—is also a form of recycling.<a href="#cite_note-gar-5">[5]</a> Materials for recycling are either delivered to a household recycling center or picked up from curbside bins, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials for manufacturing new products. In ideal implementations, recycling a material produces a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, and used <a href="/wiki/Polystyrene" title="Polystyrene">polystyrene</a> foam into new polystyrene. Some types of materials, such as <a href="/wiki/Steel_and_tin_cans" title="Steel and tin cans">metal cans</a>, can be remanufactured repeatedly without losing their purity.<a href="#cite_note-NG-6">[6]</a> With other materials, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products and materials involves their <a href="/wiki/Reuse" title="Reuse">reuse</a> in producing different materials (for example, <a href="/wiki/Paperboard" title="Paperboard">paperboard</a>). Another form of recycling is the <a href="/wiki/Waste_sorting" title="Waste sorting">salvage</a> of constituent materials from complex products, due to either their intrinsic value (such as <a href="/wiki/Lead" title="Lead">lead</a> from <a href="/wiki/Car_battery" class="mw-redirect" title="Car battery">car batteries</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gold" title="Gold">gold</a> from <a href="/wiki/Printed_circuit_board" title="Printed circuit board">printed circuit boards</a>), or their hazardous nature (e.g. removal and reuse of <a href="/wiki/Mercury_(element)" title="Mercury (element)">mercury</a> from <a href="/wiki/Thermometer" title="Thermometer">thermometers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thermostat" title="Thermostat">thermostats</a>). <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-4"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Recycling&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origins">Origins</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Recycling&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origins">edit</a>]</div> Reusing materials has been a common practice for most of human history with recorded advocates as far back as <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a> in the fourth century BC.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> During periods when resources were scarce, archaeological studies of ancient waste dumps show less household waste (such as ash, broken tools, and pottery), implying that more waste was recycled in place of new material.<a href="#cite_note-guide-8">[8]</a> However, <a href="/wiki/Archaeological_artefact" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological artefact">archaeological artefacts</a> made from recyclable material, such as glass or metal, may neither be the original object nor resemble it, with the consequence that a successful ancient recycling economy can become invisible when recycling is synonymous with re-melting rather than reuse.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain,_April_1942_D7447.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg/220px-Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="229" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg/330px-Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg/440px-Old_Rags_Into_New_Cloth-_Salvage_in_Britain%2C_April_1942_D7447.jpg 2x" data-file-width="768" data-file-height="800" /></a><figcaption>Inside a British factory, a textile worker rakes newly-made '<a href="/wiki/Shoddy" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoddy">shoddy</a>' which was then combined with new wool to make new cloth</figcaption></figure> In <a href="/wiki/Pre-industrial" class="mw-redirect" title="Pre-industrial">pre-industrial</a> times, there is evidence of <a href="/wiki/Scrap" title="Scrap">scrap</a> bronze and other metals being collected in Europe and melted down for continuous reuse.<a href="#cite_note-economisttruth-10">[10]</a> <a href="/wiki/Paper_recycling" title="Paper recycling">Paper recycling</a> was first recorded in 1031 when Japanese shops sold repulped paper.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> In Britain dust and ash from wood and coal fires was collected by "<a href="/wiki/Waste_collector" title="Waste collector">dustmen</a>" and <a href="/wiki/Downcycling" title="Downcycling">downcycled</a> as a base material for brick making.

Industrialization spurred demand for affordable materials. In addition to rags, ferrous <a href="/wiki/Scrap" title="Scrap">scrap</a> metals were coveted as they were cheaper to acquire than virgin ore. Railroads purchased and sold scrap metal in the 19th century, and the growing steel and automobile industries purchased scrap in the early 20th century.

When a product in such a container is purchased, a small surcharge is added that the consumer can reclaim when the container is returned to a collection point. These programs have succeeded in creating an average 80% recycling rate.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> Despite such good results, the shift in collection costs from local government to industry and consumers has created strong opposition in some areas<a href="#cite_note-gar-5">[5]</a>—for example, where manufacturers bear the responsibility for recycling their products. In the European Union, the <a href="/wiki/Waste_Electrical_and_Electronic_Equipment_Directive" title="Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive">WEEE Directive</a> requires producers of consumer electronics to reimburse the recyclers' costs.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> An alternative way to increase the supply of recyclates is to <a href="/wiki/Ban_(law)" title="Ban (law)">ban</a> the disposal of certain materials as waste, often including used <a href="/wiki/Petroleum" title="Petroleum">oil</a>, old batteries, <a href="/wiki/Tire" title="Tire">tires</a>, and garden waste.

Content mandates specify that a certain percentage of a new product must consist of recycled material. Utilization rates are a more flexible option: Industries can meet their recycling targets at any point of their operations, or even contract out recycling in exchange for tradable credits. Opponents to these methods cite their large increase in reporting requirements, and claim that they rob the industry of flexibility.<a href="#cite_note-gar-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-DeLong-49">[49]</a> <a href="/wiki/Governments" class="mw-redirect" title="Governments">Governments</a> have used their own <a href="/wiki/Purchasing_power" title="Purchasing power">purchasing power</a> to increase recycling demand through "procurement policies". These policies are either "set-asides", which reserve a certain amount of spending for recycled products; or "price preference" programs that provide larger <a href="/wiki/Government_budget" title="Government budget">budgets</a> when recycled items are purchased. Additional regulations can target specific cases: in the United States, for example, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency" title="United States Environmental Protection Agency">Environmental Protection Agency</a> mandates the purchase of oil, paper, tires and <a href="/wiki/Building_insulation" title="Building insulation">building insulation</a> from recycled or re-refined sources whenever possible.<a href="#cite_note-gar-5">[5]</a> The final government regulation toward increased demand is recycled product labeling. When producers are required to label their packaging with the amount of recycled material it contains (including the packaging), consumers can make more educated choices. Consumers with sufficient <a href="/wiki/Buying_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Buying power">buying power</a> can choose more environmentally conscious options, prompting producers to increase the recycled material in their products and increase demand.

It generally refers to how much of it is composed of target material, versus non-target material and other non-recyclable material.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> Steel and other metals have intrinsically higher recyclate quality; it is estimated that two-thirds of all new steel comes from recycled steel.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> Only target material is likely to be recycled, so higher amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials can reduce the quantity of recycled products.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> A high proportion of non-target and non-recyclable material can make it more difficult to achieve "high-quality" recycling; and if recyclate is of poor quality, it is more likely to end up being <a href="/wiki/Downcycling" title="Downcycling">down-cycled</a> or, in more extreme cases, sent to other recovery options or <a href="/wiki/Landfill" title="Landfill">landfilled</a>.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> For example, to facilitate the remanufacturing of clear glass products, there are tight restrictions for colored glass entering the re-melt process. Another example is the <a href="/wiki/Downcycling" title="Downcycling">downcycling</a> of plastic, where products such as plastic food packaging are often downcycled into lower quality products, and do not get recycled into the same plastic food packaging. The quality of recyclate not only supports high-quality recycling, but it can also deliver significant environmental benefits by reducing, reusing, and keeping products out of <a href="/wiki/Landfill" title="Landfill">landfills</a>.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> High-quality recycling can support economic growth by maximizing the value of waste material.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> Higher income levels from the sale of quality recyclates can return value significant to local governments, households and businesses.<a href="#cite_note-GOV.UK-52">[52]</a> Pursuing high-quality recycling can also promote consumer and business confidence in the waste and resource management sector, and may encourage investment in it. There are many actions along the recycling supply chain, each of which can affect recyclate quality.<a href="#cite_note-Scottish-54">[54]</a> Waste producers who place non-target and non-recyclable wastes in recycling collections can affect the quality of final recyclate streams, and require extra efforts to discard those materials at later stages in the recycling process.<a href="#cite_note-Scottish-54">[54]</a> Different collection systems can induce different levels of contamination. When multiple materials are collected together, extra effort is required to sort them into separate streams and can significantly reduce the quality of the final products.<a href="#cite_note-Scottish-54">[54]</a> Transportation and the compaction of materials can also make this more difficult. Despite improvements in technology and quality of recyclate, sorting facilities are still not 100% effective in separating materials.<a href="#cite_note-Scottish-54">[54]</a> When materials are stored outside, where they can become wet, can also cause problems for re-processors.

The <a href="/wiki/Institute_for_Local_Self-Reliance" title="Institute for Local Self-Reliance">Institute for Local Self-Reliance</a> argues that the cost of recycling depends on various factors, such as <a href="/wiki/Gate_fee" title="Gate fee">landfill fees</a> and the amount of disposal that the community recycles. It states that communities begin to save money when they treat recycling as a replacement for their traditional waste system rather than an add-on to it and by "redesigning their collection schedules and/or trucks".<a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> In some cases, the cost of recyclable materials also exceeds the cost of raw materials.

However, in Brazil and Argentina, waste pickers/informal recyclers work alongside the authorities, in fully or semi-funded cooperatives, allowing informal recycling to be legitimized as a paid public sector job.<a href="#cite_note-Medina,_M._2000_51–69-144">[144]</a> Because the social support of a country is likely to be less than the loss of income to the poor undertaking recycling, there is a greater chance for the poor to come in conflict with the large recycling organizations.<a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a><a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> This means fewer people can decide if certain waste is more economically reusable in its current form rather than being reprocessed.

In her study, she had 10 block leaders talk to their neighbors and persuade them to recycle. A comparison group was sent fliers promoting recycling. It was found that the neighbors that were personally contacted by their block leaders recycled much more than the group without personal contact. As a result of this study, Shawn Burn believes that personal contact within a small group of people is an important factor in encouraging recycling. Another study done by Stuart Oskamp<a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a> examines the effect of neighbors and friends on recycling. It was found in his studies that people who had friends and neighbors that recycled were much more likely to also recycle than those who did not have friends and neighbors that recycled. Many schools have created recycling awareness clubs in order to give young students an insight on recycling. These schools believe that the clubs actually encourage students to not only recycle at school but at home as well. Recycling of metals varies extremely by type. Titanium and lead have an extremely high recycling rates of over 90%. Copper and cobalt have high rates of recycling around 75%. Only about half of aluminum is recycled. Most of the remaining metals have recycling rates of below 35%, while 34 types of metals have recycling rates of under 1%.<a href="#cite_note-149">[149]</a> "Between 1960 and 2000, the world production of plastic resins increased 25 times its original amount, while recovery of the material remained below 5 percent."<a href="#cite_note-Moore08-150">[150]</a>: 131  Many studies have addressed recycling behaviour and strategies to encourage community involvement in recycling programs. It has been argued<a href="#cite_note-151">[151]</a> that recycling behavior is not natural because it requires a focus and appreciation for long-term planning, whereas humans have evolved to be sensitive to short-term survival goals; and that to overcome this innate predisposition, the best solution would be to use social pressure to compel participation in recycling programs. However, recent studies have concluded that social pressure does not work in this context.<a href="#cite_note-152">[152]</a> One reason for this is that social pressure functions well in small group sizes of 50 to 150 individuals (common to nomadic hunter–gatherer peoples) but not in communities numbering in the millions, as we see today. Another reason is that individual recycling does not take place in the public view. Following the increasing popularity of recycling collection being sent to the same landfills as trash, some people kept on putting recyclables on the recyclables bin.<a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Recycling_in_art">Recycling in art</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Recycling&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Recycling in art">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Share_of_firms_(in_%25)_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png/220px-Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png/330px-Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png/440px-Share_of_firms_%28in_%25%29_taking_action_on_climate_through_waste_minimisation_and_recycling.png 2x" data-file-width="819" data-file-height="643" /></a><figcaption>A survey showing the share of firms taking action by recycling and waste minimisation</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Uniseafish.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Uniseafish.jpg/220px-Uniseafish.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Uniseafish.jpg/330px-Uniseafish.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Uniseafish.jpg/440px-Uniseafish.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Uniseafish – made of recycled aluminum beer cans</figcaption></figure> Art objects are more and more often made from recycled material. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Embracing_a_circular_economy_through_advanced_sorting_technologies">Embracing a circular economy through advanced sorting technologies</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Recycling&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Embracing a circular economy through advanced sorting technologies">edit</a>]</div> By extending the lifespan of goods, parts, and materials, a circular economy seeks to minimize waste and maximize resource utilization.<a href="#cite_note-154">[154]</a> Advanced sorting techniques like optical and robotic sorting may separate and recover valuable materials from waste streams, lowering the requirement for virgin resources and accelerating the shift to a circular economy. Community engagement, such as education and awareness campaigns, may support the acceptance of recycling and reuse programs and encourage the usage of sustainable practices. One can lessen our influence on the environment, save natural resources, and generate economic possibilities by adopting a circular economy using cutting-edge sorting technology and community engagement. According to Melati et al.,<a href="#cite_note-155">[155]</a> to successfully transition to a circular economy, legislative and regulatory frameworks must encourage sustainable practices while
