What happens to paper and cardboard after you put it in the recycling bin?

if you do not recycle it, then it will go to a land fill and get buried in the ground over many years... when if you recycle it then it will probably get ripped up and teared into small pieces by machines and boiled so all the fibers come loose and is put in a presser and pressed back into new cardboard.

i am not sure about this because this is what happens to paper but i think it's a similar process.
