 Recycling is a major component of Michigan waste reduction efforts. It is often the first step businesses take toward a more efficient and cleaner operation. It is also a popular, positive way individuals can protect their environment and reduce the impact of climate change.
A few of the many environmental and economic benefits of recycling are:
- Minimizing the need to harvest and mine virgin materials thus preventing habitat and natural area destruction and disruption.
- Creating more jobs than managing waste does, resulting in stronger local economies.
- Diverting waste from landfills, extending their useful lives.
