By using recycled materials we save on energy consumption, which keeps production costs down. Recycling reduces the need for more landfills. No one wants to live next to a landfill. By recycling, we reduce the need to destroy habitats for animals. Paper recycling alone saves millions of trees. Recycling and purchasing recycled products creates a greater demand for more recycled goods.
