There?s More To Waste Than Trash: Make Money by Learning to Recycle Better
May 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Recycling is here to stay, and anyone even trying to suggest that recycling isn't valuable would be incredibly wrong on a number of counts. Recycling is valuable in more ways than can even be described in one article. Even still, consider these facts:
Hundreds of paper mills in the USA use at least a portion of recovered materials to manufacture new paper products.
In America we use 4 million plastic bottles an hour and most of them are thrown away. Have you ever thought about how many plastic products there are?
More than 1.5 million tons of construction materials are manufactured every year from paper products
More than 200 paper mills produce paper products entirely from recycled materials
More than half of office paper is recovered with recycling
Recycling aluminum cans drastically decreases the loss of raw materials
The Aluminum Foundation reports that during a 12 week program, over 105 million beverage cans were recycled, earning over $2.3 million for charities.
There is no limit to the number of times aluminum can be recycled
With just a few of these facts in mind, it becomes extremely clear that the value of waste does not end at the trash can, the dumpster, or the landfill.
Business waste such as paper, plastic, and metal all have value even after they appear on the surface to have served their purpose. The fact is, they can contribute immensely when it comes to making more money through better business recycling.
Simply by changing perspective, anyone can look at waste that's been cast aside in a dumpster or trash can and see the possibilities. Sure, it might be a strange concept at first — but it makes sense. If you think about all the products that use recycled materials and the sheer amount of products businesses across the country create every day, you'll see that the need for more materials is constantly growing. By helping businesses recycle, and earning half of what they save, independent waste consultants stand to profit from waste and help the environment at the very same time.
