Waste Not Want Not: Recycler’s Business Card

Whether its glass, paper, aluminum or scrap metals, the recycler plays a key role in the consumption process. As the world turns ever greener, the business of recycling becomes a competitive and lucrative career choice. The recycler’s business card should reflect an obligation to the planet with a nod to traditional professionalism.

Choose a simple but creative design for your recycling business card. Abstract designs work well as long as they are understated. Depending on the type of recycling, building outlines, trees in shadow or even an abstract rendering of a globe works well. Traditional colors associated with recycling include gray, blue, green and brown.

Of course, if the recycling business deals with wood or paper, a recycled cardstock is the most effective marketing tool for your business card. A number of business card companies offer recycled materials as well as soy inks as an option in their printing portfolio. Be sure if you spend the extra pennies to use recycled and sustainable materials that you get that fact printed on the bottom of the card.

When it comes to important information for the recycler’s business card be sure to include contact information as well as specifics about location. Maps and details on satellite recycling locations are the key to a steady flow of business. Use the back of the card to list specifics about your recycling business. Include items you recycle, any reimbursement policies and information on how to drop off items.

Distribute the recycler’s business card at home and business expos, tourist information boards and town halls. Network with area garbage disposal and land management organization and leave a pile of your cards with them. Any area environmental agencies or businesses known for their green approach should have a few of the cards to hand out to customers and clients.
