The future of the recycling industry lies very much in a reduction of the number of different materials being processed together and an increase in the purity of raw materials produced by the recycling process. Standardization of materials across products is one element of this future vision, underpinned by conservation rather than consumption, effectively reducing and redefining what call waste.

So, think twice its important is that it prevents pollution, reduces the need to harvest new raw materials, saves energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, saves money, reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, and allows products to be used to their fullest extent.
