Question

0. a cup of unrecyclable material?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Some materials are not readily recyclable and are appropriate for disposal today. But with research and advancements in technology they could become resources tomorrow.

Non–recyclable paper – wrapping paper that is laminated or contains foreign materials such as foil-coatings or glitter, photographic film, microwave containers, hardcover books, frozen food boxes, thermal fax paper, carbon paper, blueprints, aluminum foil boxes and binders.

Treated or contaminated wood - wood treated with preservatives or attached to other materials like sheetrock or window glass

Answer 2

the cups cannot be recycled unless the materials are separated, which is impossible to do by hand and requires a special machine. That's why the easiest items to recycle are the products made from a single material. Water bottles (100% PET plastic) are a prime example of this.
