Why Specify Recycled?

10
Specifying Recycled

• Specifying higher recycled content in goods,
  works and services
• Deliver on sustainability at no extra cost
• Stimulate local markets
• Increase the value of materials you want to
  recycle

11
Consider the Domino Effect

• If your organisation required contractors to
  source products with higher recycled content
• Demand for materials/resources recovered from our
  waste streams would increase
• It becomes economically attractive to segregate
  and recycle materials (reducing waste to
  landfill)
• BONUS. More efficient use of natural resources
  means a step closer to sustainability

12
But the cost!

• You dont have to pay premium price if you use
  your buying power effectively.
• And you can provide new opportunities for local
  and regional business
