Downcycle
Most recycled industrial nutrients (materials) lose viability or value in the process of recycling. This means they can only be used in a degraded form for components other than their original use. White writing paper, for example, is often downcycled into materials such as cardboard and cannot be used to create more premium writing paper.

Can you explain the plastic recycling codes: 1-7? Where I live, only plastics 1 & 2 are accepted for recylcing. Must the remainder be landfilled or is there a use for them?
