BUY RECYCLED PRODUCTS

Why Buy Recycled Products:

  • Reduces Waste Going To Landfills. Diverted materials are made into new products and not disposed of, so landfill space is conserved.

  • Reduces Manufacturing Waste and Pollution. Making products from recycled materials creates less air and water pollution, and waste than making products from virgin materials.

  • Reduces energy consumption. Recycled products usually take less energy to make.

  • Creates jobs. The manufacturing process for recycled products creates far more jobs than landfills or incinerators. Recycling has the potential for being the least expensive waste management method.

  • Improves markets. When you buy goods with recycled content, your purchases help to create a demand for materials collected in local recycling programs.
