Recycling Plastics Conserves Energy and Natural Resources. Recycling plastics reduces the amount of energy and natural resources (such as water, petroleum and natural) needed to create virgin plastic.
Another issue at stake is the fact that producing recycled plastic does not reduce the need for virgin plastic. However, plastic recycling can and does reduce the consumption of other natural resources like timber, due to its use in making composite lumber and many other products.
