What is the difference between “recycled” and “recyclable” material ?

Recycled materials or “recycled content” means the said product is made from previously used materials, while recyclable products or recyclables means that the said product can be reprocessed into something new once it is collected and sorted at a recycling facility. However, one common misconception is that all recyclables get recycled. Proper segregation by consumers is required before recycling can take place, like separating a bottle cap from the bottle. But that if often not done, thus recyclables still end up in incineration plants. Yet, products are still being marketed as recyclable.
