Source? Ive never found a factory that does this in practice. They all add virgin material

Unfortunately I'm not finding much explicit information on the specific processes, just that it's possible.

Wikipedia says it's infinitely recyclable
So does this waste disposal place
The Australian CSIRO also says it's "endless"
Alternatively, this PDF from a state government here says it's often mixed in with virgin materials, but doesn't mention why.

Now of course just because it can be recycled indefinitely, doesn't mean it is in practise. Could be contamination, colouring, or just plain cost.

I don't think infinitely recyclable doesn't mean it doesn't need virgin material. I don't know what that would be called
