Most people make aboutb two kilograms of wastev every day, and about 7% of this waste is made up of pastic products that can be recycled. Today, plastic can be recycled into products like picnic tables, park benchens, and even high-chairs.

Fist, plastic is collected and taken to a recycling center where it is sorted out. When plastic is sorted out, symbols have to be printed on every recyclable plastic product used. There are types of plastic: polyethylene or polymer. There are two kinds of polyetthylene plastic, too:high density polyethylene (HDPE), and low density polyerthylene (LDPE). HDPE plastic is usually used to make furniture, and LDPE plastic is usually used to make things like milk jugs, plastic and grocery bags.

Read the passage carefully then answer the questions below:

Every day of the year throughout the world, about twenty million paper bags and newspapers are screwed and thrown away. Making paper requires a lot of wood pulp and the work of millions of workers. Many countries have had plans to recycle waste paper to save money and labor. In countries where there is the cooperation of the public, paper mills recycle as much as sixty percent of waste paper. Their simple work is to take away the ink, crush it up and make it into pulp again. For every ton of recycled newsprint, twelve trees can be saved. We can insist that the more paper people save, the more trees are preserved.
