β€œWhy is it important to separate plastic bottles from paper when recycling? The video showed different machines sorting materials. Why is it important for these machines to sort the materials into groups of the same type? Imagine someone threw a glass bottle into the bin for cardboard. Why would this be a problem for the recycling center?”
