What does my recycling become?

• All your paper becomes newspapers; cardboard is made into new cardboard packaging.
• Glass bottles and jars, become new glass bottles and jars, or they can be used in making new roads.
• Alluminium and steel cans become new cans, parts for cars, aeroplanes and other metal items.
• Paper is separated and used to make new paper products. The plastic parts are either further separated or used as a fuel to power the paper mill.
• Plastic items become packaging, fleece clothing, pipes, outdoor furniture and lots of other plastic items.
