When we recycle, we are turning used items or waste into new products. Paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass are frequently recycled materials. Sometimes the same product is produced, such as recycling used plastic soda bottles into new plastic bottles or old aluminum cans into new aluminum cans. We can also recycle used materials to create new products. Plastic bottles are recycled and become fiber filling for jackets and sleeping bags, carpeting, paintbrush bristles, and skateboards. Used office paper can be recycled into tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and writing paper.

In the United States, paper is made from recycled paper, trees and other plants, and woodchips and scraps from sawmills. A paper product can be recycled 5–7 times before the fibers are too weak to use again. More than 5,000 products are made from recycled paper. Some of those products include masking tape, paper money, globes, bandages, coffee filters, and hospital gowns.
