- directly impacting a step of the process<|im_end|>

 Based on the information provided, if less recyclable items travel to the plant, it will directly impact the step of the process where the items are sorted by what they are made of. This is because the plant will receive fewer items to sort, which will reduce the amount of work that needs to be done in this step.

Therefore, the answer is:
