Peer Consultants for Buying Recycled-Content Products
Are you interested in learning more about the costs and benefits of buying recycled-content products? The recycling circle starts when you buy products that are made from recyclable materials. The demand for these products creates the economic environment needed to encourage recycling. And, when you use locally-made recycled products, you directly support our local effort to recycle more and reduce Hawai‘i’s waste.
Most of the following peer consultants represent a new industry emerging in Hawai‘i, creating quality products from the recyclable materials you collect.
