Author: go kys



Answer:

-Energy is Still Needed in order to Recycle- Reprocess. It may even go Over than the Extraction Energy Requirement. -Glass and Plastic may need to be Sorted out - Time Consuming -So you need to Compare the Energy Usage for Extracting the Material, than to Recycle the Material. -Recycling also doesn't meaning that the Materials will be used Infinite Times - Paper after Recycled a few times becomes Useless. [However its Useful to note that Non-Renewable Sources like Metals may still be Recycled even if its more Energy Consuming - Its NON-RENEWABLE]
