  9. Closed-loop recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_recycling

    Waste is considered a resource in itself, closing the loop of resource production. [7] Recycled resources require less labor and energy to convert into new products, which reduces environmental pollution and production costs. Therefore, closed-loop recycling may be considered part of environmental sustainability programs. [8]
