How do grocery stores recycle plastic bags?

ralph w asked:


So lots of grocery stores now provide bins where shoppers can drop off old plastic bags for “recycling.” Does anyone know exactly how the stores recycle the bags? Do they actually reuse them as bags? Or are they somehow reprocessed for their raw materials, as with bottles, cans, etc.?
