Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collecting and remelting aluminum beer cans and making them into new cans is an example of recycling as it involves taking a used material (aluminum cans) and turning them into a new product (new cans). This process reduces the demand for new aluminum and saves energy compared to making new cans from scratch.

B, C, D, and E are all examples of reducing waste or conserving resources, but they are not specifically examples of recycling. Refilling soft-drink bottles, selling used clothing, saving leftovers in a jar, and using household water for gardening all involve reusing items or conserving resources, but they do not involve the process of turning used materials into new products.
