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.
