If the economics don't work, recycling efforts won't either. As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources. Great post!

Here in Australia we recycle similar products such as milk and juice cartons, which I think are manufactured in the same way and are ubiquitous, so I'm a bit surprised that they're not recycled where you are. Theoretically, everything is recyclable, even us. Why not paper coffee cups? Mooch Hi,

Thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to use the soda reusable cups, coffee, any drink I need, I will use some plastic cups and maybe reuse paper ones. Wow, this is amazing! Thanks for the tips.
