What Happens When Plastic is Recycled?
Last updated 1 year ago
Do you every wonder what happens to all that plastic once it leaves the recycling bin on your curb? It gets recycled and marketed to bottle and plastic product makers, but a lot happens in between.
When plastic arrives at a recycling facility, it’s first sorted by type. Then it’s pushed into a machine that smashes it all together into a cube. Last, it’s banded up and put on a trailer to ship off to market. Learn where that recycled plastic ends up by watching this video.
