    Answer:
Closed loop recycling is making an old product into the same thing again. It means turning old aluminum cans into new aluminum cans, or old glass jars into new glass jars.

Turning plastic milk jugs into flowerpots is not closed loop recycling because a different product is made.

Closed loop recycling is ideal because there is already a market for the recycled product; manufacturers don't have to hope that people will buy aluminum cans, they know people will. That may not be true for recycled plastic flowerpots, though.
