What Materials can you recycle?
Practically everything we use can be recycled or reused, but here are some of the main items that can be processed- glass, plastic, paper, cardboard, batteries, clothing, paint, timber, electronics, and metal. Even things as diverse as concrete can be recycled! The technique used to recycle each material is obviously different, but most are done on a large industrial scale. Generally, the recycled material is used (at least in part) to generate new material. For example, in the United States batteries can contain up to 80% recycled material.
