What are the total systemic effects of recycling?

I recycle because I want to do everything possible to reduce waste that ends in landfill. I've been under the impression all these years that recycling is beneficial to the environment. But recently learned that, at least in California, we send our products to China compacted recyclables into new products that are then sent back to the U.S.. I'm curious about the "life cycle" of a recycled product and the impact of the recycling industry on the environment. They are also recycling methods of China and the U.S. chemical or regulations EU? Economists encouraged despite in. Thanks.

recycling to reduce waste is a major concern because, as the world population grows, land for life and food production increasingly important. the same applies to the practices of land use involving golf courses and cemeteries, but a road to avoid here. the real problem with your scenario is that the benefit of the manufacturing of new products for recycling is a major user of water and electricity and water resources are perhaps the largest environmental concern we face – outside of developed countries – and redundant power generation produces a large amount of CO2 that contributes to climate change. the problem is not recycling, you describe all transport from the burning of ships through Pacific and back easily outweigh the benefits of reduced resource requirements for the manufacture of recycled products. Regarding China, in response to other issues, environmental laws are still virtually nonexistent, but that can be decisive, since they face the population growth and its emergence an underdeveloped to a developed country where the increasing quality of life is supposed to be a large part of growth and development.
