How does building recycled materials work?

Recycling plays a big part in not only reducing waste in landfills but also giving customers low priced recycled building materials. Here’s a brief rundown on how recycling works.

There are three parts to the recycling process: collection, manufacturing and buying. These three components are typically represented by the three "chasing arrows" of the recycling logo.

• Collection - Here, your building recycler sorts out the materials that can be recycled. And prepare them to become raw materials. Different cities and municipalities have different systems for sorting and collecting materials that can be recycled.
• Manufacturing - Recovering the materials is just the first step. Demolition yards may take down buildings to produce materials, but these materials have to be repurposed so that they can be useful for the customer.
• Buying - "Close The Loop" by buying products with recycled content. In order to make recycling economically viable, there must be a market for recycled products. If people buy them, companies will be encouraged to make them, and the whole system works.
