ECO GREEN
“When you put the whole picture together, recycling is the right thing to do.” “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.”

Recycling utilizes waste material and makes useful items out of it. Recycling is the process of breaking down an object's original form in order to develop alternative usable objects.

Recycling, therefore, has become extremely pertinent to the polluted environment of the world. So, as college students, we have the opportunity to perform some recycling research and innovation, but how will we do that? And what are the benefits of using recycling innovations?
We need to protect the environment for future generations so that they can live in a pollution-free environment. Recycling not only helps create new, innovative things from waste material, but in the larger scheme of things, it cuts down the production cost while at the same time safeguarding the environment and reversing the effects of global warming and climate change.

The various materials that we recycle have to go through a process that refines and purifies them.
Paper- It is the most used material on the earth. Paper is made up of two materials water and wood.
For recycling paper firstly, they break it down into small pieces and dissolve it in water.
After that, they add chemicals that filter out the ink and dirt from it.
In addition, after filtering the paper takes the form of a mush called pulp and this pulp is later converted into clean paper.
Metals- The metals are first shredded into small pieces and then they were melted and after that remolded into new shapes.
Glass- The recycling of glass is easier they just break it into pieces and then melt it and recast them.
Plastic- They also follow the same process as plastic. But, the process of plastic recycling is a little bit complex because they have to sort out the different types of plastics.
