Recycling

Recycling involves the separation and collection of materials for processing and remanufacturing into new products, and the use of products to complete the cycle. Much of the aluminum, glass, paper and steel used for packaging today is already recycled. Half the nation's aluminum cans are made from recycled aluminum and one-quarter of the raw fibers used in the paper industry are from recycled paper products. Glass and steel used in containers can be recycled over and over.

Reasons to Recycle

  • Creates jobs
  • Reduces pollution
  • Saves landfill space
  • Saves money
  • Saves natural resources
