Questions26to28refertothefollowingtext.
Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new
products. In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less
energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the
demandforhighpollutionalternativesorbyminimizingtheamountofpollutionproducedduring
themanufacturingprocess.
Paperproductsthatcanberecycledincludecardboardcontainers,wrappingpaper,andoffice
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil.
The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a
machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove
smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper
