Based on Learey s observations, a significant amount of Denison s waste could potentially be recycled and thus it is vital to increase our recycling rate. In order to close the recycling loop, Denison needs not only to improve recycling, but also to purchase recycled goods.
Recycling can only have a positive environmental impact if there is a market for recycled goods.
We recognized that we could help close the recycling loop by informing the academic departments about the option of buying recycled paper, and help them make the switch.
