BUYING RECYCLED PRODUCTS BENEFITS THE ECONOMY, THE ENVIROMENT

Recycling - An Important Part Of The Solution

The more we recycle, the less garbage winds up in our landfills and incineration plants. By reusing aluminum, paper, glass, plastics, and other materials, we can save production and energy costs, and reduce the negative impacts that the extraction and processing of virgin materials has on the environment.

It all comes back to you. Recycling gets down to one person taking action. New products can be made from your recyclable waste material. Recycling is good for our environment, our communities, and our economy.

Buying recycled products is an important step in completing the lifecycle of a recycled item and “closing the loop” on the recycling process. By purchasing products with recycled content you prevent those materials from ending up in a landfill and do your part to maintain consumer demand for recyclables and ensure the continuation of recycling programs.

In recent years it has become much easier to find and purchase recycled materials. Many stores now showcase entire “green” sections or provide a “green” option for every day products. Because of this shift in thinking, it can actually be less expensive to buy recycled products than traditional items.

For businesses who buy items in large quantities, purchasing recycled items can be particularly cost effective. Modern recycled products include almost everything for your business, from office paper and shipping supplies, to construction materials and carpeting.
