Recycling involves:

• Separation of materials
• Collection of materials
• Processing the materials
• Re-manufacturing the materials into new products
• Buying and using recycled products

Unless each of these steps is followed, there is a breakdown in the recycling loop. Many products are made from recycled materials - from cereal boxes to paper clips. When shopping, look for products with recycled content.
