Recycling is evolving: Are you recycling like it’s 2025?

(BPT) - Do you want to recycle more but are afraid of getting it wrong? You're not alone. According to the 2024 WM Recycling Report, many Americans want to recycle and want to find more ways to do so, but 45% don't because they're not confident about what can and can't be recycled.

This isn't entirely surprising given that there's a lack of education around recycling. Many items that weren't recyclable 10 years ago can now be collected and turned into other products. If you want to increase your recycling and recycle correctly, here's what you need to know.
