Protected: Recycling of materials has several advantages

Several products made from recycled materials will be added to the Maku range. This is a result of our desire to make more sustainable choices when building our selections. The benefits of recycling and using recycled materials in the manufacturing process are numerous.

 

The benefits of plastic recycling:

Plastic recycling can reduce the use of virgin oil, which is the main raw material for plastics. Oil production and transportation cause environmental pollution and dependence on unstable regions. Plastic recycling can also save energy, as it requires less energy to reprocess plastic than to produce new plastic.

Plastic recycling can reduce the amount of plastic waste and the harm it causes. Plastic waste is one of the biggest environmental problems, as it does not decompose in nature and can end up in water system and oceans. Plastic waste can pose health risks to animals and humans as it may contain harmful substances or microplastics. Plastic recycling can also reduce the amount of waste going to landfills and the emissions it causes.

Plastic recycling can contribute to a circular economy, where materials and products are kept in circulation for as long as possible and their value is preserved. The circular economy is a more sustainable and efficient way of producing and consuming than the traditional linear economy, where materials and products are discarded after use.

 

The benefits of glass recycling:

Glass recycling can save raw materials and energy, as glass is 100% recyclable. New glass made from recycled glass requires less sand, soda and lime and less energy than glass made from virgin raw materials.

Glass recycling can reduce waste and environmental pollution as glass does not rot or burn. Glass waste takes up space in landfills and causes greenhouse gas emissions. Glass recycling can also prevent glass from ending up in the environment, where it can pose a risk to animals and humans.

Glass recycling can contribute to the circular economy and sustainable development, as glass is one of the few materials that can be recycled indefinitely without deterioration.

 

The benefits of metal recycling:

Metal recycling can save natural resources and energy, as the metal produced in the recycling process uses twice as much energy as mining ore.

Metal recycling can reduce waste and environmental pollution, as metal is 100% recyclable. Metal waste takes up space in landfills and causes greenhouse gas emissions.

Metal recycling can contribute to the circular economy and sustainable development, as metal is one of the few materials that can be recycled indefinitely without deterioration.
