Save Natural Resources
By making products from recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we reduce the need to cut down forests, drill for oil, and dig for minerals.

Save Energy
It usually takes less energy to make recycled products: recycled aluminum, for example, takes 98% less energy to make than new aluminum from bauxite ore.

Save Clean Air & Water
In most cases, making products from recycled materials creates less air pollution and water pollution than making products from virgin materials.

Save Landfill Space
When the materials that you recycle go into new products, they don't go into landfills, so landfill space is conserved.

Save Money & Create Jobs
The recycling process creates far more jobs than landfills, and recycling can frequently be the least expensive waste management method for cities and towns.
