What happens to paper and cardboard after you put it in the recycling bin?

if you do not recycle it, then it will go to a land fill and get buried in the ground over many years... when if you recycle it then it will probably get ripped up and teared into small pieces by machines and boiled so all the fibers come loose and is put in a presser and pressed back into new cardboard.
i am not sure about this because this is what happens to paper but i think it's a similar process.

∙ 13y agoPaper and cardboard are recycled the same way.
First, any large non-paper items, such as plastic bags and aluminum foil, are removed by hand from the waste paper at the recycling plant. The paper is then mixed with hot water and mashed into pulp in a machine that works much like a large kitchen blender. The watery pulp is forced through a screen and filtered to remove any solid objects. Ink and other impurities separate from the paper fibers and float to the surface, where they are skimmed off. The cleansed pulp is then mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper or card again.
