Closing the loop, ton by ton

Article Abstract:

Recycling may be environentally wise but may still be quite economically unviable as demonstrated by the higher prices of recycled contents commodities than virgin products. Nevertheless, some sectors of the industry are bent on their participation with the buy recycled program such as McDonald's Corp's 140 million tons recycled content purchasing program in 1991 which was seen as successful because it did not jeopardize quality standards and competitive pricing. Other efforts to help the buy recycled program can also be made both by individual consumers and companies.
