Eco-Cycle’s mission is to identify, explore and demonstrate the emerging frontiers of sustainable resource management through the concepts and practices of Zero Waste. We believe in individual and community action to transform society’s throw-away ethic into environmentally-responsible stewardship.

The paper version of the Eco-Cycle® Times is printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper with non-VOC soybean-based inks. It is printed using a commercial cold-web press, which is less energy- and ink-intensive than the processes used to print glossy magazines.
