Notts Recycles Go Green Challenge-Day 23

How does it all get recycled?

Day 23 Challenge

Today’s challenge is to find out what stages and processes our recyclables go through before they come back to us as new products.

So, you put your recyclables in your wheeled bin and every fortnight they’re collected by your local council. But what happens next and where do they go?

Check out our 'journey of recyclables' animations to find out the incredible journey that a number of common household items take as they go from product right back to new product. 

When you’re next out shopping see if you can choose products that are in easily recyclable packaging so that you know once you’ve finished with the item, its packaging can continue on its recycling journey.
