This episode of the award-winning GreenWorks for Pennsylvania

only works when there are markets for recycled products. Stories
featured in this episode include fashionable clothing and accessories
made from recycled materials, as well as useful information
on buying recycled both in the workplace and at home. Learn
how closing the recycling loop reduces our waste stream and
enables the natural resources we use to go further.
