Once collected the materials of the toys will be separated. Plastics are size-reduced (made smaller by being shredded or ground), then melted and reformatted into pellets, flakes, or a powder format. Metals and aluminium are shredded and smelted into metal sheeting, ingots, or bar stock. Natural fibres are converted into a material called “shoddy” that is used for insulation and product stuffing. Once collected, the toys are broken down and separated by material. Plastics are cleaned and pelletised to be recycled into new products, and metal materials are sent for smelting and conversion to new alloys.
