Recycling includes the exclusion and redirection of material from the waste stream, thereby reducing the amount of material that ultimately has to be deposited in a solid waste management disposal facility. Therefore, recycling can reduce the potential for pollution, and a facility (and the related machinery and equipment) which processes recyclables to a manufacturer's specifications or utilizes recycled materials in production shall qualify as a pollution abatement system.
