Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which of the following cannot be recycled?    

    • A.

      Office documents

    • B.

      Used pizza boxes

    • C.

      Biodegradable plastic bags

    Correct Answer
    B. Used pizza boxes
    Explanation
    It seems like these cardboard boxes are made for the recycling bins but pizza boxes are often tainted with food and grease. Many items are recycled using a heat and water process, which is not problem for plastic and glass. However, paper fibers cannot separate from oils (we all know water and oil don’t mix!) during the pulping process and food grease normally cause the entire batch to be ruined.
    This is the reason that other food related items are non-recyclable (used paper plates, used napkins, used paper towels, etc).
