We promote the philosophy of closing the loop to better manage your waste and get the most out of your current recycling efforts. Recycling Services has a longstanding and highly respected relationship with SCA Tissue, named the world’s 2nd greenest company by The Independent, a major British newspaper. Become an environmental steward by using SCA’s Tork brand products in your facility and close the loop of sustainability.
Why Close The Loop?
You are using paper made from your recovered paper
Engages your employees in better waste recycling and increases their recycling rate
Generates positive PR opportunities
Recycling supports the local economy
Ensures natural resources are used more than once
Reduces the environmental footprint of your business
A Healthy Relationship
Recovered paper is transformed into new product at an SCA paper mill in Menasha, WI. The proximity of the Menasha mill, only 160 miles from Recycling Services’ processing plant, reduces the number of miles that fiber must travel before entering its second life, minimizing the size of your carbon footprint. The partnership also allows Recycling Services to continue to collect recovered fiber in down markets when other waste and recycling companies have been forced to landfill their recycling.
Good For Your Business
Tork dispensing systems control consumption and reduce waste, which cuts down on your costs. Closing the loop brings added attention to your recycling program, in turn increasing your recycling rates. Using Tork products and closing the loop also contributes points toward LEED accreditation.
