Clovis Recycling Center Reminds You About The Importance of Recycling

Everyone knows it's better to recycle an item than to throw it away. It's good for the environment, rewarding, and, in some areas, can earn you money. Recycling helps cut domestic waste that would otherwise be buried in landfills and provides a steady supply of pre-used materials that can be transformed into new, practical objects we use every day. Recycling is beneficial to the environment and to us.

Here are some simple facts:

  • Recycling reduces waste and the need for landfilling which, in turn, extends the useful life of the landfill.
  • Recycling decreases the need to extract and process virgin raw materials that are used in manufacturing processes for the new projects, thereby conserving natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
  • Recycling saves energy and reduces pollution associated with raw material and mineral extraction and processing.
  • Recycling helps sustain the environment and natural ecosystem for future generations.
  • Recycling can also give you money!

Benefits of Recycling

One of the greatest benefits of recycling is pollution prevention. Energy savings is one of the ways that recycling reduces pollution emissions. When less energy is used to make products, fewer fossil fuels are burned and less green house gas, mercury, and other harmful chemicals are emitted into the atmosphere to pollute our air, water, soil. For example, that aluminum can made from recycled material that required only 5% of the energy needed to produce it from raw materials, also produced 95% less air pollution. Another benefit of recycling, is its potential to preserve our natural resources, many of which are being depleted at alarming rates. Recycling allows us to use these resources more than once, reducing the need to chop down, extract, process, refine and transport natural resources such as timber, petroleum, and mineral ores. Glass, for example, never wears out. It can be recycled over and over again. In the case of aluminum, 4 pounds of bauxite ore is saved for every pound of aluminum that is recycled (CRI). By supplying industry with recycled materials, rather than virgin resources, recycling also preserves biodiversity by slowing the destruction of forests, wetlands, rivers and other places essential to wildlife. Additionally, other detrimental impacts, such as soil erosion associated with logging and mining, are lessened. Considering these facts, you can begin to understand that the benefits of recycling encompass much more than waste management objectives. While recycling goes a long way in preserving valuable landfill space, it also has enormous potential for economic and environmental benefits. This is why disposing of materials that could be recycled is truly a careless waste of a valuable resource.

Some Interesting Facts From Clovis Recycling Centers:

  • Paper waste comprises 40% of our municipal solid waste stream.
  • Less than 1/3 of our paper is manufactured from recycled sources, and in the U.S., 99% of the virgin fiber used for paper manufacturing comes from trees.
  • The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that by 2011, worldwide paper and paperboard consumption will increase 90% from 1993. This equates to a consumption level of 528 million tons.
  • U.S. businesses throw away 21 million tons of paper every year, the equivalent of 175 pounds per office worker.
  • On average, every American consumes over 730 pounds of paper a year, making the U.S. the world's greatest paper consumer. A
    12-foot high wall stretching from New York City to Los Angeles could be built with our annual office and writing paper waste.
  • The 300 million rolls of fax paper we use each year is enough to go from the Earth to the moon 26 times.
