Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the

This truly unique collaborative municipal effort
not only provided King Township with significant

Recycling:
Does it still matter?
Canadians have embraced recycling, with more than
85% of us recycling regularly.
But we can do more. As much as 80% of everyday waste materials can be
recycled, and much of what is not recyclable can be composted.
Heres why recycling remains important:
Protects Natural Resources - Making products from recycled materials
instead of virgin materials reduces the need to harvest, drill or mine for
new raw material, which can affect local environments.
Saves Energy - It usually takes less energy to make recycled products than new
ones. E.g. Recycling a pop can takes 95% less energy than creating a new one.
Protects Clean Air and Water - Making products from recycled materials
generally creates less pollution than making new products.
Saves Landfill Space Recycling diverts items from landfills or incinerators
and extends the landfill life-span.
Creates Jobs - The recycling industry creates more jobs than landfills.
The more we recycle, and the more we choose products made with recycled
material, the more we can stimulate economic growth and create new
opportunities for research and employment.
HP Canada and the Township of King thank you for your efforts.
