C
Exactly
all
of
this
equipment,
you
see
here
sorts
about
95%
of
the
recyclables,
and
then
we
have
about
13
people,
that's
sort,
the
other
5%.
The
sort
process
starts
when
your
recyclables
come
to
my
plant
and
then
a
truck
dumps
them
out
from
there.
It
leads
up
to
our
presort
area,
where
we
have
to
sorters
that
sort
out
trash
and
recyclables
that
don't
belong
in
our
system
after
that.
C
Is
amazing-
and
this
stuff
here
is
this
all
recycled
to
all
of
these
items-
have
been
recycled
in
fact
come
here.
Let
me
show
you
something.
This
plastic
bottle
yeah
the
stages
that
it
goes
through
starts
off
as
just
a
clear
or
green
soda
bottle
gets
crushed
and
cut
and
to
find
material,
and
then
it
gets
refined
cleaned.
So
it's
clear
and
then
ends
up
as
a
polyester
fiber
that
you
might
find
in
say
your
pajamas
or
your
robe.
In
fact,
this
is
made
out
of
100%
recyclable
material,
Wow.
