SAVES NATURAL
RESOURCES - By making products
with recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we conserve
land and reduce the need to drill for oil, dig for minerals,
and harvest trees.

|
SAVES ENERGY -
It usually takes less energy to make recycled products; producing
aluminum by recycling, for example, takes 95% less energy than
producing new aluminum from bauxite ore.

SAVES CLEAN AIR AND WATER
- Using recycled rather than virgin
materials reduces the amount of pollutants emitted during resource
acquisition and processing, and product manufacturing.
