The Value of Recycling: Beyond Eco-Friendly
We all know the primary incentive for recycling: lowering our impact on the environment. And it’s a worthwhile reason. In 2018, over 292 million tons of garbage was produced, with only a 32.1% rate of recycling and composting. Enough phones were thrown away in 2022 to make a 31,000-foot tall stack. Every year, the U.S. creates more and more plastic, and only about 5% of it actually gets recycled.
With numbers like those, the environmental impact should be reason enough for us all to do our part to protect our planet. But there are even more benefits to increasing recycling at your business.
Company Reputation
As awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainability increases, customers are increasingly looking for companies that make eco-friendly efforts. Improving your business’ sustainability and lowering your carbon footprint can simultaneously boost your reputation with customers.
Here in Washington, consumers are particularly environmentally conscious and want to support efforts to keep our state green and beautiful. Being an eco-friendly business builds trust and credibility with your current and potential customers. It can also have a boost internally, helping your employees feel good about the work they do.
Profit and Efficiency
Recycling can be lucrative! Scrap metal in particular often has monetary value since it can be recycled over and over without losing its quality. Whether it’s an old car, a large collection of aluminum cans, or electronics, you can get paid to recycle your scrap metal at Sutter Metals.
Eco-friendly efforts within your business can also improve efficiency and save on expenses. There are many ways we can reuse or use fewer resources, which means less we have to buy. The practices you enact to be more sustainable may just pay for themselves by minimizing waste and excess.

Long-Term Savings
We can’t overlook the long-term outlook of sustainability. It’s becoming increasingly clear that we simply cannot keep producing and consuming at our current rate–something needs to change. The resources we rely on are finite. That means the efforts we all make now to use fewer resources and use them more responsibly will save us in the long run.
As materials become scarce, they will also become more expensive. So it’s in your best interest to get ahead of the problem by reducing your reliance on limited resources and lowering your contribution to the problem.
