Together with our retail partners, the Texas General Land Office is hoping this brochure will provide useful information on buying products made of recycled material. This is a unique time. Together we can create a demand for the recyclable material we collect by buying the products that use the material. I urge you to start looking for recycled products today. If you're not buying, you're not recycling.
Recycling is a three step process.
We must include all segments in order to succeed. Take them to the nearest recycling center or put them out for curbside collection. Processors clean and prepare the recycled material for use by manufacturers. Manufacturers make new products from collected materials. Consumers purchase recycled-content products and, if suitable, put them back into recycling collection programs.
