ECONOMIC IMPACT OF RECYCLING<\/strong>
\nThe act of recycling incorporates a broad range of activities that have a positive impact on the Texas economy. After a consumer uses and discards a recyclable material, it is collected, sorted, processed, and sold to end markets. All of this is done with the intent of preparing it for use as a future feedstock for manufacturing. When recyclable materials are sufficiently processed to be used as feedstock, they are then transported from the processor to a manufacturer. The manufacturer, in turn, either feeds the recyclable material directly into the manufacturing process, further processes it before use, or mixes the recyclable material with virgin material before manufacturing. During each stage of this recycling process, from collection to manufacturing, economic activity is being generated in the form of employment, workers\u2019 wages, and public revenue that benefit the Texas economy.\u00a0 \u00a0Recycling creates economic benefits for the Texas economy, with nearly 23,000 person-years of direct, indirect, and induced employment supported<\/h6>\n
