The 7th ‘R’

Ideally, we want to use every 'r' option before we get to "recycle", but recycling is a super important part of trying to live in a circular economy.

Does some recycling end up not being recycled?

Yep.

Does that mean recycling doesn't matter?

Not by a long shot.

Which materials we choose to purchase can make a huge difference to what ends up being recycled and how we recycle things is just as important. We've given a rundown of the benefits of some common household recycling items. And since one of the most common issues we hear about is that people don't know what can go where, we've included Recycle BC's infographics. Save this as a handy reminder!

Hope this is helpful!
