Meaning
Recycling is taking materials that have been used and making them into new products.

To recycle is to process waste materials so they can be used again.
About Recycling
Recycling involves several stages:
- Collecting and transporting the products with recyclable materials.
- Separating a product into its separate materials.
- Cleaning the material to remove contaminants.
- Reforming the material, usually by melting and molding into a block of the material.
- Transporting the material to factories where it can be used to manufacture a new product.
