recyclable

An item that's recyclable can be turned into new products after being collected and processed.

When we talk about something being recyclable, it means we can take it to a recycling center or sort it at home and then use it as material for making something else. For example, plastic bottles are often made from materials that are originally in old water bottles, so they're recyclable too. Many people like to think about what they throw away and try to recycle more of their trash to help the planet.
