There are several environmentally friendly and economic benefits to recycling hazardous waste-

  • By minimizing the consumption of raw materials.
  • Reducing energy use and pollution.

The extraction, refining, transportation, and processing of new raw materials have a significant impact on the environment and human health. Recycling and maximizing the use of hazardous waste can lead to less air, water, and soil pollution. When hazardous wastes are recycled, less energy is needed to obtain raw materials and manufacture products. Due to less energy demand, fewer fossil fuels are burned and fewer GHGs are emitted into the atmosphere, which can minimize the impact of climate change and reduce air pollution. Less hazardous waste is sent to treatment and disposal facility which indirectly reduce the burden on landfills.
