ReMA reaffirms the contribution of recycled aluminium, paper and more on America Recycles Day

On the occasion of America Recycles Day, The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) restate to remind Americans that recyclable substances are sustainable, resilient and vital to our everyday lives and the global economy.

Here, the significance of the recycled elements that include aluminium, steel, copper, paper, rubber etc was brought forth to the citizens' notice by the officials.

"From the coffee cup we are using to the cars we drive and the bridges we cross—recycled materials are a part of virtually everything around us," says ReMA President Robin Wiener. "It's impossible to go a day—or even an hour—without using a product made at least in part with recycled materials. On America Recycles Day, we celebrate how the recycled materials industry is continuously innovating to recycle more material, more effectively, while partnering with businesses, communities and policymakers to build an environmentally sustainable, economically resilient future."

Aluminium and glass are 100 per cent recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing any physical quality. Whereas ninety per cent of the structural steel used in buildings like hospitals is recycled steel.
