Buy Recycled
Minnesotans are among the top recyclers in the nation. In 2018, Minnesota reported that 1,995,534 tons of recyclable materials were collected. We can be the best recycling collectors in the world, but if we are not intentional about the circular nature of recycling, we are missing a critical part of it. There are a lot of manufacturers in Minnesota that make products using recycled material—the same recyclable materials that you put in your curbside bin! Explore the map below to see who and where they are.
