  • Preserves natural resources by promoting the use of recycled materials
  • Helps in conserving energy by reducing the need for raw material extraction
  • Prevents pollution and contamination of soil and water sources
  • Encourages sustainable practices and promotes a circular economy
By segregating waste at the source, individuals contribute to a cleaner environment and support a more sustainable approach to waste management.
