If matter is neither created or destroyed, why isn't the world filled with waste matter?

Answer 1

matter isnt created or destroyed but it keeps changing forms. In this case useful material changes into waste :). e.g When you burn wood, even though wood is a useful it turns into gases and ash. These gases and ask when mixed with Soil feciliate growth of the trees thus producing more wood. This is a perputual cycle which is followed for most of the stuff we brand as "waste"

Answer 2

The natural world and universe are the greatest examples of recycling that can be shown to us. When a star gets too old, it goes supernova, becoming a white or blue dwarf, and any matter expelled from it gets drawn in by another star, perhaps to become a new planet in a few million years. Similarly, when a plant or animal dies, it is consumed by something else...and that something else gets consumed, so on, and so forth.

We humans are the only stupid gits that seem to create stuff that can't be reabsorbed into the circle. Although, perhaps one day, all of our atoms will one day be burned off when our star goes supernova, and our matter will be hurdled across the universe to become another star.
