consumers — 79 percent say they are more conscious of sup- porting green and sustainable companies now than they were five years ago. More than three in four (78 percent) believe that business- es and corporations are simply not doing enough right now to be sustainable, leaving a big gap between consumer pref- erence and brand image. Eight in 10 Americans feel they recycle “as often as they should,” with 85 percent saying recycling is very important to them. But 81 percent of those polled are in agreement that together, we aren’t doing enough as a society to combat wastefulness. “The Recycling Partnership is proud to be a change agent and a leader in the movement to transform the U.S. recy- cling system,” said Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership.“Especially in the world we live in today and on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we need change and we need it now – there’s no time to be timid.” Nearly half of those polled said they have even dug recy- clables out of trash cans to recycle them, with 48 percent saying they’ve actually stopped somebody from throwing something recyclable away. But while Americans are passionate about recycling and being sustainable, that doesn’t mean they are perfectly aware of how to recycle properly. One in 10 Americans said if they aren’t sure how to prop- erly recycle an item, they will more than likely throw it in the garbage. The average American will also throw away three items they know to be recyclable per week. But 78 percent say they feel guilty every time they do this. “Citizens play a critical role in reducing waste and improv- ing markets for recyclable materials by recycling properly,” Harrison said.“But they can’t do it alone. Companies need to commit to designing for recycling and bolstering the U.S. system so that we can see successful increases in recycling rates, together.A healthier U.S. recycling system is good for the economy and the planet.” Top five reasons Americans recycle • To make sure the world is inhabitable for future genera- tions: 56 percent • To make the world a better place for future generations: 51 percent • To preserve natural resources: 49 percent • To reduce carbon emissions: 47 percent • To minimize accumulation in landfills: 47 percent
