T-6A1-1 - Shift to recycling of solid waste

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Increased recycling facilitates climate change both directly, by saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from raw material production, and indirectly by retaining rare and important climate change raw materials in society's cycles.

Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions at landfills and waste incineration plants.
