What is Recyclable?

Close the Recycling Loop
Recycling involves:
- Separation of materials
- Collection of materials
- Processing the materials
- Re-manufacturing the materials into new products
- Buying and using recycled products
Unless each of these steps is followed, there is a breakdown in the recycling loop. Many products are made from recycled materials - from cereal boxes to paper clips. When shopping, look for products with recycled content.
