Close the Loop – Buy Recycled Products

Remember, you’re not really recycling if you don’t purchase recycled products!  For recycling to work there has to be a reuse market for the materials that are reclaimed from the trash.  So close the loop by buying recycled!

Purchasing products made from recycled materials has many benefits for the environment.  They include:

  • Creates markets for materials collected in residential & business recycling programs
  • Reduces air and water pollution
  • Saves natural resources
  • Supports the development of green technologies
  • Creates jobs
  • Reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming 

Learn more about how to purchase recycled products, both at home and at work:
