Recycling and Composting Methods

          Recycling – the process to recovering and reusing any kinds of remaining materials that have been used. With recycling, we can prevent waste of potentially useful materials that can still be used. Although similar in effects, recycling cannot be considered same as composting. In recycling, the remaining things that have been used will reproduce into new things that contain the same materials, even though it may have a different shape and use. On the other hand, in composting, the remaining materials will not reproduce into another thing. It will only be broken down and processed by decomposer such as bacteria and fungi as a source of energy for living thing to keep the continuity of live cycle. There are two types of recycling based on its material, which are the organic materials recycling and inorganic materials recycling.
