Fast Facts

Save the planet and strengthen your business

Businesses create a distinct type of waste, often made up of cardboard, plastic film, and even scrap metal. Though this waste often looks different than your recycling bin at home, many of these items can be recycled—and should be.

  • Recycling put nearly 700,000 people to work in 2012
  • 1,000 tons of recyclables can equal $65,000+ in wages
  • Paper can be recycled 5 – 7 times before degrading
