How has overpopulation changed the rule about recycling and use of resources

Overpopulation changed the rule about the recycling and use of resources because we have limited resources on our planet. For fulfillment of the needs of all the population, we are paying attention toward recycling and limiting the use of fresh resources. Now a days we are heading towards sustainable development. In sustainable development we use our resources without exploiting them so that our future generation would also use them.
