75% of everything we use is recyclable and useful in the production of new products.
Our recycling is called feedstock. The glass, aluminum, steel, plastic and paper products you purchase and use every day are made from 50%-100% recyclable feedstock. Industries need this feedstock to produce new products. Without feedstock, we face product shortages.
