Recycling
Feeding the waste material of one process of production into the same or another process so as to make further use of it. Cycles exist only if initially distributed matter is condensed and used again for the original purposes. Such circular flows of matter are rarely ever clogged, ultimately yielding unusable pollution. (Krippendorff )

Recycling
A technique in which the column effluent is recirculated onto the head of the column in an attempt to gain the advantage of extended column length. Can be carried out on a single column by passing the eluent back through the pump. An alternative technique uses two columns connected by a switching valve. Very seldom used in HPLC, and then only in size-exclusion chromatography.

Recycling
process by which materials otherwise destined for disposal are collected, reprocessed or remanufactured, and reused. Mandatory recycling programs require by law that consumers separate trash so that some or all recyclable materials are not burned or dumped in landfills.

Recycling
Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products. Recycling generally prevents the waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste hierarchy.
