The Buy Recycled Training Institute is committed to strengthening the education of purchasing agents, recycling coordinators, transportation officials, grant managers and parks and recreation supervisors who buy and use recycled products. The Buy Recycled Training Institute's mission is to serve as an educational tool offering public and private guidance in creating and managing recycled procurement programs in public and private organizations. Such products evidence your organization's values and help to foster good will between you and the public. Recycled products can save money. Retread tires, for example, offer enormous savings - up to 65 percent.
Recycled products can offer excellent quality.
Many industry standards do not distinguish between virgin and recycled products. Buying recycled closes the recycling loop. If you have a recycling collection program, you should also have a corresponding recycled purchasing program. Otherwise, you're merely sorting recyclables. Market development translates into economic development.
