Saves Natural Resources
When we make products from recycled materials instead of new materials, we reduce the need to drill for oil or dig for minerals.
Saves Energy
It usually takes less energy to make recycled products than new materials. For example, recycled aluminum takes 95% less energy than new aluminum.
Saves Clean Air and Water
By making products from recycled materials it is more likely we will create less air pollution and water pollution than when we make products from new materials.
Saves Landfill Space
We can conserve space in our ever growing landfills by recycling old products into new products.
