as there is a finite amount of many raw materials eg, metals on earth - recycling conserves these resources
recycling metals cut down on amount of rubbish that gets sent to landfill, landfill takes up space and pollutes surroundings

weighing up wether recycling a material is better then just disposing it, requires you to compare how much energy is used for both processes
you want to go with the option of the lowest energy cost, think about consequences of adding materials to landfill, material youre reclying comes fromnon- renewable or renewable sources
you can only recycle materials a finite no. of time, recycled material has lower quality than the original one. has to be used differently, ( paper can only be recycled a few times before useless as made from toilet paper not high quality paper )
