recycled plastics
Remade synthetic materials
Recycled plastics are plastic materials that have been reprocessed from waste rather than manufactured from virgin petroleum.
The recycling process typically involves collecting, sorting, cleaning, and melting plastics into pellets for new products.
Quality degrades with each cycle, so recycled plastics often end up in lower-grade applications: The park bench was made from recycled plastics.
The term appears frequently in environmental discussions and product marketing.
