Recycling

Many items are made from paper, like, Toilet roll, Cardboard, and many other household objects, and without recycling items like Toilet roll, and Cardboard wouldn’t exist.

The Paper is collected and loaded onto vans, it is then sorted into what is recyclable and not.

The recyclable paper is feed under a long strong magnet which plucks staples and other metals out the paper.

It is then pushed into a giant blender which mashes the bits of paper into a mush which is ready for making materials.

A item that is made out of paper is a grey insulation which keeps houses warm.
