    Here is a possible response: The materials that are recycled, like paper, plastic, glass and metal, get collected and taken to recycling plants. At the plants, the materials are sorted by type. Paper gets baled together, plastic gets shredded, and glass and metal get crushed. Then the sorted materials get cleaned and processed to break them down. The broken down materials are made into new products like new paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass jars. This helps reduce waste and saves natural resources by reusing materials instead of making everything from new raw materials. Recycling helps protect the environment.
