Reuse Recycling has the smallest “carbon footprint” of any type of recycling.
Opposed to other recycling there is no high temperature melting, boiling or burning.
Most of what is collected for Reuse is sorted, graded and redistributed to those less fortunate than many of us.
Collections deemed as unfit for Reuse are often cut into wiping rags and resold as “bag of rags” products for commercial, industrial or private reuse.
Other products that are unfit for Reuse often go into the making of commercial and residential insulation products and other uses.
