Reusing the materials man creates, both keeps the earth free of non-biodegradable elements and makes good use of pre-existing materials. In fact, recycling has become a very popular theme in the lives of most Americans. Recycling has grown to include metals such as aluminum, steel, copper and silver. Silver is a metal which can be retrieved from x-ray film as well as from scrap metal. Silver is used to construct x-ray film and in the recycling process the film is destroyed and the silver is salvaged.
