Office waste paper is used to make new products such as bathroom tissue, writing paper and cereal boxes. A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new aluminum can, in as little as 60 days. Plastic beverage containers are made into clothing, carpeting, luggage, film, and new food and beverage containers.

About us
Report
Earthworm's mission is to promote recycling in the workplace. We accomplish this by providing a collection service that is easy for first time recyclers to implement. Also, by reducing barriers to recycling through friendly assistance, flexible programs and affordability, Earthworm enables small businesses and others who are underserved by the private sector to establish office recycling programs.

Buy Recycled
Report
Earthworm sells high quality recycled copy paper in order to help you "Close the Recycling Loop." When you close the loop you stimulate markets for recyclables. Strong markets ensure the continued reuse of scrap materials. Our prices are competitive with office supply stores and to further encourage you to buy recycled, we waive paper collection fees when you purchase recycled copy paper.
Reuse
Report
The benefits of the reuse of manufactured goods far surpass the benefits gained through recycling. In fact, reuse is often described in terms of the triple bottom-line (environmental benefit, economic benefit and social benefit). Earthworm is always on the lookout for good homes for reusable products and has active partnerships with other local, reuse organizations.

Everything goes somewhere. Socks don't actually disappear in the laundry and solid waste doesn't disappear after leaving your sidewalk or recycling bin. Knowing where all of the waste that we create goes is one step toward environmentally responsible citizenship. Subsequently altering our behavior is the more important step, but let's start with the knowledge bit.
