Recycled plastic is material that has been processed from used plastic products, such as bottles and containers, to create new items. This process helps reduce waste in landfills and conserves natural resources by reusing existing materials instead of producing new plastic from raw materials. The recycling process typically involves collecting, sorting, cleaning, and shredding the plastic before it is melted down and formed into pellets. These pellets can then be used to manufacture a variety of products, including clothing, furniture, and packaging, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
