Many products are made out of a combination of materials, and although that’s good for some things, it isn’t good for recycling. In fact, one common reason items can’t be recycled is because they are “mixed” materials. In order for the recycling process to work effectively and affordably, items need to be separated at home so they can be properly sorted at the facility.
