That's more than 6 million trees since we began recycling. Recycling protects another endangered species landfills. It's estimated that one half of all landfills now open will close in the next five years. We divert 1.5 million pounds of paper per year from landfills. Using recycled materials also protects our air.
Packaging made from recycled paper provides a practical alternative to plastic and styrofoam.
Plastics, after all, cause more pollution than recycled paper. One way is to recycle your waste and to use recycled materials wherever you can, at home, in your business and in your community.
