	==Different types of recycling==		==Different types of recycling==
			Recycling is a process where a product that is considered trash gets partly or totally processed into a new product. Recycling is used as a general term for reusing products.
	===Upcycling===		===Upcycling===
	~~Reuse (discarded objects~~ or ~~material)~~ in ~~such~~ a ~~way as to create~~ a ~~product~~ of ~~higher quality or value than the original~~. Upcycling ~~basically provides things~~ a ~~second existence, it revives~~ the ~~object but with a higher user value than what it had in its previous life~~. ~~Upcycled objects include everyday items such as furniture, ceramic materials, cans, clothing, and glassware~~		Upcycling is a form of recycling where the product has the same or even better quality after the recycling process. An unusable product gets processed in a new product like for instance a new bag made out of old denim. Upcycling is about the raw materials that are used for a product as well as the total product.

	=== Downcycling ===		=== Downcycling ===
			Downcycling is a type of recycling where the quality of the recycled material and products are lower than the original product made of virgin materials. Downcycling consists of quality loss and also when only a part of the total product gets recycled. Downcycling also consists in pollution in the waste stream. For example glass. Glass can be recycled and keep its quality, however, when there are to many different colours of glass mixed only brown glass can be made out of recycled glass. Therefore brown glass due to pollution in the waste stream is considered downcycling because a part of the total value is lost due to the recycling process.

	== Recycling Codes==		== Recycling Codes==
	Many materials have a symbol which is called a recycling code. The recycling code is a number that indicates what material the product or part of the product is made from. The materials are sorted on how they should be recycled. Not all materials have a recycling code. For example, rubber does not have a recycling code. However, rubber can be recycled. The recycling codes ~~makes~~ the recycling process easier for recycling facilities. Also when a material does have a ~~recyclingsymbol~~ does not mean that the material can be recycled. ~~Reycling number~~ 1-6 are plastics that can be recycled. Number 7 is for al the other plastics and these plastics do not get recycled, they get burned.		Many materials have a symbol which is called a recycling code.

Even though many materials can be (partly) recycled in theory, many materials do not get recycled in practice. There are many different reasons why materials do not get recycled. Mostly it is because it is too difficult to recycle or it costs too much money or energy.

== Recycling Codes==
Many materials have a symbol which is called a recycling code. The recycling code is a number that indicates what material the product or part of the product is made from. The materials are sorted on how they should be recycled. Not all materials have a recycling code. For example, rubber does not have a recycling code. However, rubber can be recycled. The recycling codes makes the recycling process easier for recycling facilities. Also when a material does have a recyclingsymbol does not mean that the material can be recycled. Reycling number 1-6 are plastics that can be recycled. Number 7 is for al the other plastics and these plastics do not get recycled, they get burned.
