Recycling

Pressure is mounting on individuals and businesses alike to recycle more and reduce energy consumption. Businesses produce waste and Government legislation increasingly places more stringent control on how you manage and dispose of that waste.

Everyone knows recycling means less waste ending up in landfill. But the greatest environmental benefits of recycling are related not to landfills, but to the conservation of energy and natural resources and the prevention of pollution when a recycled material, rather than a raw material, is used to make a new product.

Why use a valuable material or product once, and then place it in the rubbish bin to be buried in a landfill or incinerated? Instead, divert that material for recycling, and capture the energy and resources already used to make that product. Since recycled materials have been refined and processed once, manufacturing the second time around is much cleaner and less energy-intensive than the first.
