About Recycling

Recycling involves several stages:

  1. Collecting and transporting the used products with recyclable materials.
  2. Separating a product into its separate materials.
  3. Cleaning the material to remove contaminants.
  4. Reforming the material, usually by melting and molding into a block of the material.
  5. Transporting the material to factories where it can be used to manufacture a new product.
