Recycle

Recycling is the collection and separation of materials from waste and their transformation into marketable products.

Friends of the Earth Cymru supports recycling for the following reasons:

• it reduces the demand for raw materials by extending their life and maximising the value extracted from them
• it reduces the waste and wildlife damage that comes with the extraction of raw materials
• it saves energy in the production process when compared with the energy consumed in using raw materials
• it reduces air and water pollution in the production process
• it reduces the harm that comes from landfilling and incineration
• it promotes personal responsibility for the waste we create.
  

Composting

Composting of kitchen scraps, garden waste, park waste, and even scrap paper and cardboard, is a valuable soil conditioner for both agriculture and gardening.

Friends of the Earth Cymru supports the development of new composting facilities around the country, as an excellent method of managing biodegradable waste.
