Combining Recycled Glass & Pottery a New Recycled Product & Glass Gifts For the Holidays

The environment and the economy go hand in hand. Natural resources provide us with water, energy and life giving forces that we are now incorporating into the bottom line equation. The "triple bottom line" takes into account the impact a business has in terms of social and environmental values along with financial returns. 
Whereas traditional models are all about profit; triple bottom line accounting recognizes that without happy, healthy people to staff a business and the natural environment able to sustain those people and supply resources for trade; business is, well, simply unsustainable in the long run.

The time has come for the environment and conserving natural resources to be factored in to business decisions and is essential for a competitive economy in the 21st century. There is no stopping an idea whose time has come. For example, when CFC's were found to create holes in the ozone layer, businesses and consumers alike made changes to accommodate for the problems created. And today no business could thrive using CFC's in their product. These were the beginnings of sustainable business practice.

Environmental concerns must be factored into our business decisions in order to sustain and compete. Many have realized that environmental conservation is good for the economy-and they're taking action and seeing results. Today our environmental concerns are much larger than a single product such as CFC. As a result, innovation and technology is exploding with rich ideas and products for our selection. Today there are more than 4,500 products available with recycled content.

As consumers become more aware of the environmental impacts of their actions and as they do more as individuals to help counteract the current problems, they expect more from businesses and the products they purchase. The environmental movement is powerful and whether you're on it or not, the time has come for change. Just as there are no products containing CFC's on the shelves of US stores today, retailers will have to make changes to remain competitive and sustain their business.

Purchasing recycled products creates markets for the recovered materials used in these products. This action fosters sustainability and conserves natural resources and energy. In addition, purchasing recycled products promotes the continued manufacture of these products, thus completing the recycling loop. In general, recycled content products perform as well as their virgin counterparts. In some instances, they perform better. You do not need to compromise on quality to purchase recycled products.
