Nov. 27, 2025, 6:00 AM ESTBy Denise ChowWhen you throw something in the recycling bin, where does it really end up?The average person in the United States generates almost 5 pounds of trash each day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Even among the small portion of that waste that is technically eligible to be recycled, some materials and types of packaging are more likely to actually be reclaimed for reuse rather than end up in a landfill. Despite how a product looks or what its label says, not every plastic container, glass jar, paper bag or cardboard box truly gets recycled.Grayparrot, a waste analytics company based in the U.K., uses artificial intelligence to track the recycling rates of different objects. The company analyzes more than 100 billion pieces of trash per year at recycling facilities around the world. Its data shows that rates can vary widely, even between two similar products, and that not every material billed as eco-friendly truly is.The quiz below compares objects used for similar purposes. Guess which item within each pair is more likely to be recycled, according to Grayparrot’s findings and other reports — then read why.Denise ChowDenise Chow is a science and space reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 27, 2025, 6:45 AM ESTBy Claudio LavangaANKARA, Turkey — Pope Leo XIV touched down in the conflict-ridden Middle East on the first international trip of his papacy, urging peace and hoping to help the Catholic Church heal centuries-old divisions with other religions and denominations.As his fellow countrymen celebrate Thanksgiving, the first American pontiff’s plate will be full on a six-day tour of Turkey and Lebanon that will be closely scrutinized. He plans to meet with religious and political leaders, lead Mass in both countries and try to provide a boost to long-suffering Christian communities throughout the region.Ahead of his trip, Leo shared a Thanksgiving message with NBC News in which he encouraged all people “to say thank you to someone” and “to recognize that we have all received so many gifts, first and foremost the gift of life.”Gifts were shared on board his flight to Turkish capital Ankara, including a pecan pie handed to him by NBC News. Leo told journalists that along with other church leaders, he hoped “to announce, transmit, proclaim how important peace is throughout the World and to invite all people to come together to search for greater unity.” Some had speculated that the Chicago-born Leo might choose the U.S. for his first trip, or Peru, where he served for many years as a missionary and later as a bishop and archbishop, becoming a naturalized citizen in 2015.

He added that it was “absolutely foundational” to what Christians, including Catholics, believe today. Leo will pray with the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, at the site of the 325 AD gathering which is known today as Iznik, before they sign a joint declaration in a sign of Christian unity.“We all understand that 1,000 years of division has inflicted a deep wound that cannot be healed easily,” Bartholomew told the respected Greek daily Kathimerini recently, according to The Associated Press.
