What is recycling?
"Recycling is the reprocessing of materials
into new products. Recycling prevents useful material resources being
wasted,
reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces
energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions"
What materials can be
recycled?
Materials such as glass, paper, aluminium,
asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics can all be recycled. Wasted
food can
also be recycled using using compost piles.
Why is recycling important
for a college campus?
Recycling is important for college campuses
because everyone wants a clean, beautiful campus. Bryant University's
goal is to minimize waste and reuse/recycle material when it is
economically and environmentally appropriate.
No
body wants to drive onto their college campus and see bottles, paper,
or cans littering their once beautiful campus.
