Ease of recycling important to reduce waste stream

Hey San Antonio! Recent research published in the Journal of Evolutionary Economics by E. Brouillat, demonstrated that improvement in recycling is necessary but not sufficient to solve the issue of increased waste. Increasing the ease of recycling and extending product life will also be necessary to slow the waste stream.

Increasing the ease of recycling:
This finding underscores the importance of providing more locations for San Antonians to recycle. Just think, how much more would be recycled if the locations to do so were readily available? Help us in the support of this cause by signing our petition.

Here are 2 ways you can extend product life:
- Buy reusable drinking containers – safe plastics have the numbers 2, 4, & 5 inside the chasing arrows, Voss sells glass containers at some HEB’s, Kleen Kanteen also has drinking containers made out of stainless steel
- Buy refurbished computers from vendors in San Antonio:
