Why is Recycling Important for the Environment: A Discussion in the Perspective of Cost-Effectiveness?
Background of Critique
Recycling of materials is defined as the process by which materials that have already been used up is made available for reuse. Presently, there has been a consensus all across the globe, regarding recycling of waste materials. The objective of such recycling is to implement proper waste management strategies that help in sustainability of the environment. Several studies have reflected that recycling helps in combating air pollution and reduce the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere. Thus, recycling not only ensures effective waste management but also helps in reducing the burden of global warming (Grosse, 2010). There are various apprehensions regarding the beneficial effects of recycling, especially in the context of cost-effectiveness. The present article will argue the benefits of recycling, based on cost-effectiveness and potential for reducing pollution impacts. The argument would be pooled over the analysis of direct and indirect costs of recycling on the environment.
