Proper waste management is very important, considering that 91% of plastic that ends up in the trash doesn't get recycled. This is highly wasteful, because most of that plastic could be reused again but unfortunately isn't. If plastic is properly recycled, it could reduce the effects deforestation, global warming and ocean pollution. If people properly assorted their trash, it could get rid of huge landfills making a cleaner and healthier environment. Proper waste management could also make it easier for trash to get recycled again and again.
