RECYCLING PROGRAM
Making A Difference
Recycling is a challenge in Puerto Rico. Last year, we added multiple recycling bins to facilitate the AD&V® teams' recycling of plastic caps, glass, medical bottles, coffee cup holders, magazines, aluminum, plastic #1, and plastic #2.
We also switched from paper business cards to digital business cards to help reduce waste, save more trees, and reduce our overall carbon footprint. Purchasing our 42 business cards allowed us to save $3,234 and one tree. Below are the metrics of all the materials we’ve been able to recycle.
