Business Recycling: How to Get Customers to Recycle
At the WWRA, we encourage all businesses to recycle. But how can we get customers to recycle, and why is it important? Let’s look at some statistics:
– 28% of all U.S waste is packaging material (Environment America)
– Nearly 50% of U.S waste can be easily recycled at facilities like the WWRA (Environment America)
– Around 25% of waste is produced by businesses alone (EPA)
So, how can we get customers to recycle? Make recycling waste just as easy as throwing it away! Ensure that the majority of your packaging is recyclable, and share with customers what is and isn’t. Next to every trash can, have a recycling bin with this printable instruction flyer.
Businesses have an outsized impact on our environment. Reducing your business’ footprint can reduce costs, attract customers, and help the environment. Get started today by visiting WWRA: A Guide to Recycling for Businesses.
