A Resource for Alameda County Businesses and Residents
Recycling doesn’t end at the curbside or in the workplace. When recyclable materials are collected, they are generally made into new products. Consumer demand for these products is what supports the recycling process.
Remember:
- Double Check with Suppliers: These listings are not comprehensive; many businesses not listed carry recycled products. The information was provided by stores and manufacturers and is subject to change. Contact suppliers for further product inquiries.
- Be Sure to Check the Label: “Recycled content” represents the percentage of material recovered from the waste stream that goes back into making a new product. “Postconsumer” indicates materials that have been recycled after consumer use. Always ask for maximum postconsumer recycled content.
