It's important to remember also that recycling is more than just about diverting household and commercial trash from landfills. Recycling is also about keeping items like books and CDs, and other wood and plastic products like furniture, in use as long as possible. Needing to buy new items less and less reduces their overall production and consumption and the resulting depletion of natural resources--which is what recycling is all about in the first place, and the driving force behind what we do at Eco Encore.
