World
Resources Environmental Policy

of the Company's founding principles is that each generation is the
custodian, rather than the absolute owner, of the world's resources,
and has an obligation to pass on that inheritance. It is, therefore,
the environmental policy of World Resources Company to conduct all
aspects of its recycling business as a responsible steward of the
environment, in order to help protect the earth and its inhabitants
and not compromise the ability of future generations to sustain themselves.
