  • The second stage is processing. After the materials have been segregated and collected, these materials are then processed to get the raw materials. These processed materials are then used for manufacturing of certain products.
  • The final stage is purchasing of the materials. As consumers demand more natural and environmentally sound products , manufacturers will produce high quality recycled products to meet the growing demand.
