Primary recycling is also known as closed-loop recycling. In primary recycling, products are recycled into products of the same type, e.e.g aluminum cans to aluminum cans. In secondary recycling, products are converted into different products, e.g. tires into other rubber products. See Miller (2008, Living in the Environment, p. 527) for more information.
