Recycled plastic is turned into plastic resin, which is then used to make mobile garbage bins, storm water pipes, crates and new soft drink bottles.
New plastic is made from oil, and the world is running out of oil. If you fill a plastic soft drink bottle one third full of oil, that's how much oil it takes to make just one new bottle. Recycling is far more energy efficient.
