It is one of the most important examples of green design in the United States.

Promoting Green Collar Jobs
Recycling provides a significant contribution to a healthier environment on several levels. It leads to fewer landfills and to improvements in air quality by keeping waste out of incinerators. Plus, the manufacture of recycled goods into finished product uses less energy to produce than did its original product, while eliminating the need to extract raw goods from the earth.

But recycling also boosts the economy with the creation of a new workforce of green collar jobs. A study by the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) of the 10 Northeast states from Delaware and north, found 206,000 people employed in the recycling and reuse industries, with $6.8 billion in annual payrolls and $44 billion in annual revenues. We’re pleased to be a part of this.
