What is Recycled Content?
According to the EPA, the term recycled content applies to materials that have been recovered from the solid waste stream, either during the manufacturing process (pre-consumer, a.k.a. post industrial), or after its intended use (post-consumer).
Why is Having a Product with Recycled Content Important?
Making products containing recycled content is important for two central reasons. First, it is important from an environmental stewardship perspective. Using recycled content means that we are keeping waste out of the landfill. Second, our customers want products that are manufactured in an ecologically responsible manner, and thus support their green initiatives.
