The question is too broad. There are some 200-300 different types of plastics, and most can be recycled to some extent. Each has different used. For instance: milk jugs are commonly made of HDPE (High Density Polyethelene), an easily recycled material. Recycled HDPE is often reformed to make carpet, drinking glasses and cups, crates, decking and building materials, roofing, filler for potholes, tool sheds, children's toys, and a thousand other items.
Polylactide, a form of biodegradable plastics that has been used to make those light grocery bags everyone complains about clogging up sewer drains and fish gills, is less recyclable, due largely to the speed with which it degrades. Not a typical petro or chemical plastic, it is largely a starch polymer, and turns quickly into a mild fertilizer.
