Material Recycling Reports
Material Recycling Reports give a fast, accurate assessment of the recycling resources available per material in a given area. Unlike reports generated by traditional survey methods, which extrapolate data into a general snapshot of a large area, Earth911 reports are derived from comprehensive data and drill down to a finite level of detail.
Material Recycling Reports provide:
- Real-time recycling data in every ZIP Code on over 1 million ways to recycle in 3200 counties
- Data to emphasize product stewardship commitment
- Direction for making decisions regarding product and package design to ensure widespread available recycling options
Why Accuracy Matters in Recyclability Reporting
With accurate data about recycling availability, products and packages can be designed with the goal of higher recyclability and improved likelihood that consumers will choose a proper disposal option. Additionally, when the recycling rate is over-calculated and misreported, the ability to recognize the urgency of recycling is diminished. Traditional surveys produce results averaged across a large population which don’t give a true picture of many US counties and cities. Earth911 Material Recycling Reports address convenience at a more granular level of detail to achieve a more accurate picture of availability within a reasonable radius.
Benefits
- Opportunity to increase product stewardship by understanding availability
