How Buying Recycled can
Improve Your Business
Enhances
Your Company’s Corporate Image:
Buying
recycled demonstrates, to both your customers and your community, your company’s
commitment to protecting the environment. If
your environmental program already includes recycling, buying recycled is an excellent
opportunity to expand your efforts.
Increases
Your Competitive Edge:
Your
customers may consider recycled content in their purchasing decisions. Some even require it. Your willingness to produce or use recycled
content products will increase your competitive edge.
Motivates
Your Employees:
Your
employees will appreciate your company’s efforts to protect the environment. Establishing a buy recycled effort will energize
employees and foster goodwill.
Builds Communication:
Your buy recycled commitment may
bring departments together to discuss needs and concerns in working towards a buy recycled
goal. This process builds relationships that
have long-term positive effects
