Answer:

Paper glass cannot be recycled

Iron can be recycled

Explanation:

Unlike most paper items, paper cups can't be recycled because they're actually coated in plastic—as little as five percent per cup. That's why they're able to hold liquid without leaking all over the place. It's also why they don't get broken down into pulp and turned into recycled paper.

All ferrous metals from iron to stainless steel can be recycled as well as non-ferrous metals such as copper, zinc, and aluminium, making it easy for businesses to bundle scrap metal together for collection. It is even possible to recover precious metals from computers, like gold, palladium silver and platinum.

(Note: I hope this helps you and please mark me as brainliest because I worked really hard on this and did a lot of research.)

Yeah it's true

Unlike some materials, paper can be recycled only so many times. That's because it's made from plant fibers that become shorter during paper-making. When they're too short, they no longer make decent paper. In practice, this means some new paper always has to be added during the papermaking process.

One problem with recycling paper is that not all paper is the same. White office printer paper is made of much higher quality raw material than the paper towels you'll find in a factory washroom. The higher the quality of paper waste, the better the quality of recycled products it can be used to make. So high-grade white paper collected from offices can be used to make more high-grade white recycled paper. But a mixture of old newspapers, office paper, junk mail, and cardboard can generally be used only to make lower-grade paper products such as "newsprint" (the low-grade paper on which newspapers are printed). Corrugated cardboard (which is held together with glue) is harder to recycle than the thin cardboard used to package groceries.

Waste documents are usually covered in ink, which has to be removed before paper can be recycled. Using bleach to de-ink papers can be an environmentally harmful process and it produces toxic ink wastes that have to be disposed of somehow. So, although recycling paper has many benefits, it comes with environmental costs as well.
