recycled plastic
Waste turned useful
Recycled plastic is plastic material that has been reprocessed from waste products rather than manufactured from virgin petroleum.
The term appears in product labeling and environmental discussions: This bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic.
Recycled plastic typically requires less energy to produce but may degrade in quality with each processing cycle.
