Yea, like the question mentionedhow many times can a recyclable items can be recycled? Like when we recycle papers and aluminumHow many times can they be recycled?
It's not infiniteEach time paper is recycled, the fibres get shorterYou can recycle bond paper into kraft paper, kraft paper into newsprint, newsprint into insulationThat's about itWith plastics, it depends on the type and the contaminantsMost programs take only HDPE (Milk jugs) and PETE (soda and water bottles)The PETE can be used to make insulation for clothingHDPE often becomes garbage cans and bottles for motor oil, etcOnce contaminated by the oil, it cannot be recycledWhere there is a market, mixed plastics may be used for plastic lumber but the market is still small.
