Reader Description

Can a plastic bottle become part of a shirt? Can a whole pile of rubbish provide power for hundreds of homes? Can rubber on the road be made into rubber in the road? And what can be done with astronauts' dirty underwear? Find out how to turn rubbish - stuff that used to be useful - into something useful again.

After you have completed the Reader

People have invented ways to reuse and recycle materials instead of sending them to landfills. Plastic bottles are a big problem. Find a plastic bottle and think of three items you could make from the bottle. Choose one way and make your recycled item.
