MATERIALS

Recycling is the process of gathering and converting resources into new goods that would otherwise be thrown away as waste. Your neighborhood, the economy, and the environment may all benefit from recycling.

Recycling saves energy and natural resources, according to EPA data. For instance:

• Recycling office paper can result in energy savings equal to 322 gallons of gasoline for every ton that is recycled.
• Recycling just one ton of aluminum cans saves more than 152 million Btu, or 1,024 gallons of gas or 21 barrels of oil, which is used in energy production.
• As of 2018, according to our most recent data, plastic bottles are the most recycled plastic product in the United States. The energy saved from recycling just 10 plastic bottles is enough to run a laptop for more than 25 hours.

Even with emails and instant chat, paper is still used extensively in most companies. The good news is that almost any paper product or package, as well as metal and plastic drinking containers, can be recycled. The best part of single-stream recycling is that everything can go in the same bin.
