Making a commitment to buy and use recycled content products may help your business in a number of ways. First, many recycled content products are available at competitive cost and at comparative quality to virgin content products. Second, many consumers are expressing a preference for goods made from recycled material and support companies that help sustain the environment. By participating in recycling programs, your company may gain an environmental edge that is appreciated by consumers and gains community support. Additionally, certain businesses and governmental entities that receive federal financial assistance are required to maintain specified recycled content procurement guidelines by Federal law.
Many communities support efforts to create a sustainable environment.
Buying recycled goods closes the recycling loop and makes business sense. While funding can be a very difficult issue for many organizations, Recycle Iowa can put you in touch with agencies that support recycling efforts. Visit our links section for more information.
