The growing focus on recycling is essential for protecting our natural resources and is just one of many ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zters.com\/blog\/ask-angela-easy-ways-to-reduce-carbon-footprint\">reduce your carbon footprint<\/a>. However, a lot of misinformation still circulates online about what can and can\u2019t be recycled. These common recycling myths can discourage people from recycling correctly\u2014or from recycling at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From recycling cans and bottles to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zters.com\/blog\/5-tips-for-recycling-building-materials\">recycling building materials<\/a>, there are tons of ways that you can help pitch in. At the end of the day, we\u2019re all in this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As waste disposal experts, we know just how important recycling is for reducing landfill waste and living more sustainably. On this Global Recycling Day, we believe it\u2019s the perfect time to dispel some common recycling myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Recycling Myths Persist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many recycling misconceptions arise because recycling rules vary from one city to another. What\u2019s accepted in one recycling facility might be rejected in another. This confusion can lead to frustration and the belief that recycling doesn\u2019t make a difference. Recycling has also evolved overtime as technology and packaging materials do which can lead to more confusion. But by taking the time to understand the truth behind myths about recycling, we can recycle more efficiently and reduce contamination in the waste stream. It takes a village&#8230;or rather, a planet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-recycled-items-just-become-trash\">1. Recycled items just become trash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This myth is circulated often, leading people to throw their hands up in the air. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/recycle\/frequent-questions-recycling\">Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a> has confirmed that sometimes contamination does, in fact, make certain items unfit for recycling. However, many recycling centers use technology to separate these materials and find other ways to reuse them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s untrue to say that <em>every <\/em>single thing you put in the recycling bin will be recycled; however recycling companies work to find opportunities for disposal\/repurposing instead of rushing right to landfills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do your part by ensuring that what you\u2019re tossing into the recycling bin is fit for recycling. Empty containers should be rinsed out. Be careful not to put items like greasy pizza boxes in the recycling as that grease can contaminate recyclable items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Everything with a triangular recycling label is recyclable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number you see inside the triangular symbol is called a <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.stopwaste.org\/packaging\/avoiding-pitfalls\/resin-identification-code\">resin identification code<\/a> (RIC). The numbers 1-6 represent the specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advancingcircularpackaging.com\/sustainable-plastic-packaging\/resins-and-types-of-packaging\/types-of-resins\/\">type of plastic<\/a> that the item is made from. The number 7 is not actually recyclable across most of the country so don\u2019t go throwing it in your recycling bin. These numbers weren\u2019t necessarily created for consumers, but rather as a way to maintain more consistent plastic manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been steps to make more intuitive <a href=\"https:\/\/how2recycle.info\/\">recycling labels<\/a> and many big brands are on board with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You can\u2019t recycle crushed cans or bottles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that you don\u2019t need to crush your cans or plastic bottles before recycling them. Leave that to the heavy recycling machinery. Although, you <em>can <\/em>actually still recycle your crushed cans and bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people think crushed cans can\u2019t be recycled at all, but that\u2019s only partly true. The confusion comes from how recycling sorting machines identify materials. When aluminum cans are crushed, the machines at single-stream recycling centers sometimes have trouble recognizing them, especially if they\u2019re mixed with other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, <strong>you can still recycle crushed cans<\/strong> as long as your local facility accepts them. If you\u2019re unsure, check your city\u2019s recycling guidelines. In general, if your area separates recyclables by type (for example, aluminum only), crushed cans are perfectly fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Recycling does not stimulate the economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This recycling myth is flat-out untrue. A 2016 study by the EPA and other recycling coalitions found that <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/learn-about-zero-waste\/jobs-and-economic-benefits\/\">recycling generated almost a million jobs<\/a>, $36.6 billion in wages, and $6.7 billion in tax revenue. These jobs stimulate local economies as well and that tax revenue can go towards important sectors like public transit, social services, and public health. It\u2019s also important to note that producing new products from scratch costs more than utilizing recycled materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recycling industry continues to grow and contribute to the economy. Between 2018 and 2023, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibisworld.com\/industry-statistics\/market-size\/recycling-facilities-united-states\/#:~:text=The%20market%20size%20of%20the%20Recycling%20Facilities%20industry%20is%20expected,average%20between%202018%20and%202023.\">recycling facilities industry grew<\/a> an average of 5.1% each year. That\u2019s a notable increase and is promising for the future of recycling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. We\u2019re already recycling as much as we can<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this recycling myth isn\u2019t true. There are still tons of ways that we can improve our recycling habits. Think about some of the public spaces and stores you frequent. Do they have separate bins for recycling and garbage? Are you and your neighbors well familiar with what can and cannot be recycled? There are always ways we can do better and being knowledgeable is one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EPA has put forward a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/recyclingstrategy\/us-national-recycling-goal\">National Recycling Goal<\/a>, hoping to reach 50% by 2030. Some cities including San Diego, Seattle, and Boise are enacting stricter recycling laws to increase the rate of recycling. Check out some of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthday.org\/7-tips-to-recycle-better\/\">tips to recycle better<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ZTERS may be orange, but we&#8217;re always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zters.com\/blog\/zters-hires-sustainability-manager-uzair-iqbal-to-improve-waste-operations\">working to be more green<\/a> too.
