Camping Mat Warehouse recycled mats aim to combat climate change by helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption. Using recycled materials to make new products reduces the need for virgin materials. This avoids greenhouse gas emissions that would result from extracting or mining virgin materials.

Recycling plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through several mechanisms:

1. Energy Savings: Recycling materials often requires less energy compared to producing new materials from raw resources. For example, recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce aluminium from bauxite ore.
2. Reduced Mining and Extraction: By using recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we decrease the demand for mining and extraction activities. Mining and extracting raw materials are typically energy-intensive processes that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
3. Less Landfill Methane: Organic waste in landfills decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), producing methane—a potent greenhouse gas. Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, thereby reducing methane emissions.
4. Carbon Sequestration: In some cases, recycled materials store carbon. For instance, using wood products made from recycled wood can help store carbon that would otherwise be released if the wood decomposed or burned.

Overall, recycling is an effective strategy for combating climate change by conserving energy, reducing emissions from raw material extraction, and minimizing the environmental impact of waste disposal.
