Many materials are made back into the same items. Aluminum cans are melted down and turned back into aluminum cans. Glass bottles usually become glass bottles. Newsprint becomes more newsprint. However, paper can only be recycled about 15 times before the fibers break down and won't stick together.
Some materials can become the same or a different item.
A steel car body can become a new car or it can become a steel bridge. Plastic soda bottles can become new bottles or hard plastic toys, carpeting or even clothing like a T-shirt. Educating the community can determine the success of your recycling program. Glass is especially easy to contaminate. Composting is another form of recycling.
