Information blocking means different things to different people. There are several levels of information blocking: In the most extreme case, information is sent but is not accepted or is not usable by another person or system.
A: Recycling saves money by reducing the costs of production during manufacturing through the use of already gathered raw materials. This reduction comes from reduced shipping costs, savings in disposal space and savings in the amount of energy required to mine or manufacture new raw materials for use.
Environmental: The scrap recycling industry annually transforms more than 130 million metric tons of obsolete materials from consumers, businesses and manufacturers into useful raw materials. Without scrap recycling, more mining and use of virgin natural resources would be required. Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by significantly saving the amount of energy needed to manufacture the products that we buy, build and use.
