recyclings
Waste conversion cycles
Recyclings is the plural of recycling when used as a count noun, referring to multiple instances or types of recycling processes: The facility handles several recyclings—paper, plastic, and glass each have separate streams.
The word is rare, since recycling typically functions as an uncountable noun.
