We were one of the few campuses that continued with dual-stream recycling because we not only got more money for cleaner, sorted paper vs. cans and bottles, but in my opinion, it trains the campus community to hopefully think a little more about whether what they are purchasing, using and throwing away/recycling is ACTUALLY recyclable. <br /><br />And the coated-cardboard... don't even get me started! I have yet to find almond milk or soy milk that comes in a reusable, recyclabe (like plastic milk jugs) or compostable container so I've actually started making my own and storing it in glass. <br /><br />Fantastic article!Kimberly Lamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599502795777432649.post-3656410871750377422012-08-24T21:39:23.141-04:002012-08-24T21:39:23.141-04:00My sense is the economics inherent with clean, sou...My sense is the economics inherent with clean, source-separated material will be the driver. First, recycling profit centers in business will become common place. Next, an astute community will make the move to abandon s-s and be rewarded with the economic benefits. Then the tables will turn. At Elemental Impact we lead with programs that make good business sense. Then, by the way, environmental stewardship is at the core program value.

It will be quite interesting to see how digging the landfills could turn profitable or even churn some money.
