The Missouri Market Development Program provides technical and information services to businesses, governments, and other organizations to increase manufacturing, marketing, and purchasing of recycled content products. Buying recycled products supports a circular economy, saves energy, conserves resources (like oil and water), reduces landfill waste, and lowers pollution by creating demand for materials already in circulation, making it more sustainable than buying products from virgin materials.
