Why should I choose recyclable and biodegradable products?

In today’s environmentally conscious world, making informed choices about the products we use is more important than ever. As a company dedicated to sustainability, Edward Clay is committed to providing high-quality recyclable and biodegradable products. But why should you choose these products? Let’s explore the benefits and the compelling reasons behind this choice.

Environmental Impact

Choosing recyclable and biodegradable products significantly reduces your environmental footprint. Traditional products often end up in landfills, taking hundreds of years to decompose and releasing harmful chemicals into the soil and water. In contrast, recyclable products can be reprocessed and used again, while biodegradable products break down naturally, reducing pollution.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and 463 gallons of oil. Additionally, biodegradable products can reduce waste volume by up to 70%, making a substantial difference in waste management.

Resource Conservation

Using recyclable and biodegradable products helps conserve natural resources. By recycling materials, we reduce the need for virgin resources, which often require energy-intensive extraction and processing. For example, recycling aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminium from raw materials.

At Edward Clay, our commitment to sustainable practices is evident in our innovative use of recycled fibres and nonwoven technologies. By choosing our products, you support a circular economy that prioritises resource conservation and reduces environmental impact. Learn more about our sustainable practices here.

Economic Benefits

Investing in recyclable and biodegradable products can also have economic advantages. Recycling creates jobs and stimulates economic growth. According to a report by the Recycling Economic Information (REI) Study, the recycling industry in the United States alone supports over 757,000 jobs and generates $36.6 billion in wages.

For businesses, using sustainable products can enhance brand reputation and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. A Nielsen survey found that 66% of global consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable brands. By choosing Edward Clay’s eco-friendly products, businesses can not only reduce costs associated with waste disposal but also attract a loyal customer base that values sustainability.

Health and Safety

Biodegradable products are typically free from harmful chemicals, making them safer for both humans and wildlife. Traditional plastics often contain additives like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), which can leach into food and drinks, posing health risks. Biodegradable alternatives are usually made from natural materials, reducing the risk of chemical exposure.

Moreover, reducing plastic waste helps protect marine life. Studies show that over 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year, endangering marine animals and ecosystems. By choosing biodegradable products, you contribute to the preservation of marine life and the health of our oceans.
