 the amount of new materials that we use to make new products. Despite importance recycling, there are a significant number of places around the world that

, a lack of education that means more people are aware of the damage that various materials can create in the environment, many people know that recycling is a good habit, but they are unsure of which items can be recycled.

 products.
For example
, China, previously the centre of the global recycling trade, abruptly shut its doors to imports of recycled material, because large amounts of the
waste
 were dirty and
thus
 a threat to the environment. In order to combat these issues, the
first
 step would be educating the general public about the facts of
waste
 disposal and recycling, perhaps even enforcing participation by levying a fine against those who do not separate their rubbish into different types. Hand in hand with

 help. Overall, it seems that a change of attitude is needed as well as more resources to manage different recyclable materials.
This
 can be achieved through a combination of education and penalties, as well as ensuring better access to facilities.
