There’s a cycle in
recycling.
It entails more
than separating
paper, plastic,
metal and glass.
More than putting
them out at the curb
or taking them to recy
cling centers. More than
having your town collect
them. More than making products
out of them
Recycling entails buying prod
ucts made from recycled
materials
Tint’s die cyde in recycling.
When you shop, check the label
for post-consumer recycled con
tent. You can buy cereal, crack
ers and shoes in boxes made
from recycled paper. Some
household cleaners, dishwashing liquids,
shampoos and other products can be found
in bottles made of recycled content. You can
buy toilet paper and facial tissue made from
Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania
Gray or brown cardboard egg
cartons, fruit trays and flower
pots are made from recycled paper that is
repulped and reshaped.
recycled paper.
Paper towels are
made with recycled
content, as ate writ
ing paper, envelopes
and greeting cards.
Even when you’re not
aware of it, you might be
buying products with recy
cled content.
About half of the aluminum in
beverage cans comes from used
cans that were recycled and
melted to make new cans.
Nearly one quarter of the glass
in bottles andjars has been used
before.
About one quarter of the con
tent of “tin” cans actually is recy
cled steel.
Making products out of recyclable materials,
which have already been refined and
processed, has substantial environmental
advantages over the creation of products
from virgin matenals.
So, buying products made from recycled
materials is an easy way to help reduce the
environmental impact of the products
you use. Sorting. CollecUng. Producing.
Buying. What goes around comes around.
That’s the cycle in recycling.®
