Sears Tower More Than Triples Recycling
Sears Tower today announced its recycling efforts increased by 325 tons from the prior year. As part of the building’s recycling program and greening efforts, tenants recycled 445 tons of paper waste in 2008, up from 120 tons in 2007. The 370 percent increase is the equivalent of saving more than 3,500 trees and more than 1.5M gallons of water. The success of the recycling program complements other Sears Tower greening initiatives, including its biking, hybrid vehicle incentive and electronics recycling programs.
