Saving the planet with Yellowsack
The United States Environmental Protection Agency proposed to achieve a national recycling rate of 50% by 2030. They stated that we can best create a collective commitment when we work towards common goals.
The construction industry is just one sector that is working towards this objective. Historically, construction and demolition materials have contributed to a significant waste stream in the United States, with much of the materials ending up in landfills. Still, as sustainability becomes even more of a global issue, there is a consensus that these materials, if managed carefully, can be diverted from landfills and channelled for more productive uses.
“With Yellowsack a massive 81% of your cleanup contributes to the environmental and sustainable cause”
Why source separation matters
At Yellowsack, we not only provide solutions around remodeling and construction projects, but our waste management solution has an environmental focus that ensures that the majority of materials we collect from your cleanup do not end up in a landfill.
By choosing Yellowsack's flexible dumpster bags for your commercial or residential project, you'll be using a service that source separates your unwanted materials, enabling the United States recycling program to continue towards its environmental objectives.
Creating more jobs
In 2016 the Environmental Protection Agency Recycling Economic Information Report also showed that construction and recycling industries created 175,000 new jobs in 2012. That number continues to grow at an exponential rate. So you are also helping us contribute towards a circular economy whilst increasing business opportunities and ensuring thousands of Americans gain employment.
Working towards a 100% recycle rate
Through your diligence, organizing your materials with Yellowsack's flexible dumpster bags, we have currently collected 25,000,000+ lbs of materials. Our source separation program ensures that 21,000,000 lbs of those materials are reused. That's a massive 81% of your cleanup contributing to the environmental and sustainable cause. And while sustainability is not a focus for our competitors, we continually strive to increase that recycling number. So choose Yellowsack and help us reach 100%, then pat yourself on the back - because your waste doesn't have to be a waste of time; it can help the planet, help the economy and help us all.
