All our everyday items can be transformed into functional pieces of furniture, accessories and art. Unused household items such as light bulbs and bottles of wine become fun new ideas for decoration and even a garden. By reusing glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics we reduce considerable the impact of waste in our environment. If we all do our part together we can make the world a better place.

The definition is clear, Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Be creative and do your part!
