![]() The Recycling Economic Information (REI) Report found that, in a single year, recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for 757,000 jobs, $36.6 billion in wages and $6.7 billion in tax revenues. Recycling is an important economic driver, as it helps create jobs and tax revenues. Remanufacturing: After all necessary processing is completed, recyclables are made into new products at recycling plants or other facilities, such as paper mills or bottle manufacturing facilities.For example, glass and plastic are often sent to glass beneficiation plants and plastics reclaimers, respectively, where they are processed into mill-ready forms. Some commodities may require more processing for additional sorting and decontamination. At the processing facility, the recyclables are sorted, cleaned of contaminants, and prepared for transport to a milling facility or directly to a manufacturing facility. Processing: The materials are transported by the collector to a processing facility, such as a materials recovery facility or paper processor.Collection: Recyclable materials are generated by a consumer or business and then collected by a private hauler or government entity.While the recycling process often differs by commodity and locality, there are essentially three main steps: collection, processing, and remanufacturing into a new product.
