Recycling is making something new from something that has already been used.
Instead of throwing things away we can collect and recycle them to make new things.
We can recycle glass, metal, plastic and paper.
Let's look at plastic. We use it every day.
Only some kinds of plastic are easy to recycle.
Some plastic is hard to recycle.
First we collect the plastic.
It is sorted into different kinds.
Then it is cut into small bits and washed.
After it has been washed, the plastic is melted and made into pellets. Now the old plastic can be used again.
We can make many things out of recycled plastic.
Too much rubbish is bad for the planet.
What can we do? We can reduce how much we use. We can reuse things. And we can recycle.
