Some plastic gets melted down into other plastic things. Some paper and cardboard get turned into toilet paper or just new sheets of paper. However, not all recycled materials are properly disposed of. Lots of plastic bags are shipped to Asia where they just either fly around or get burned, releasing toxic chemicals into the air. Fun right?
