Recycling Companies Stock: The complete list on the NYSE

Here’s the complete list of all the recycling companies’ stock that’s listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of 09/23/20.

We built it at Carbon Collective because we wanted a way to invest in all of the companies building solutions to climate change. From renewable energy stocks, to LEDs stocks, to recycling stocks.

For humanity to stop climate change, we need to make our economy far more circular. We need far more of our stuff to be built of recycled old things than from newly extracted raw materials. According to Project Drawdown, each of the following has the potential to reduce global carbon emission.

• Recycled paper: 1 – 2 gigatons CO2e reduction potential
• Home & industrial recycling: 5 – 6 gigatons of CO2e reduction potential

Here is the full list of solar companies’ stocks, broken into two categories:

• Industrial Recycling

About Carbon Collective:

We built Carbon Collective after we couldn’t find anywhere to invest our retirement savings that made both ethical and financial sense in the age of climate change.

So we put together the world’s first series of climate-friendly, diversified, low-fee investment portfolios and teamed up with a world class online brokerage platform to automatically manage them.

Imagine an index fund in a world without fossil fuels. That’s how we build our portfolios. We replace the high-carbon parts of the stock market (fossil fuels, dirty utilities, airlines, etc.) with the companies building solutions to climate change (renewable energy, circular economy, energy efficiency, etc.).

Our difference

01. We're clear eyed.

We think financial security and climate health are directly linked.

02. We're independent.

We're not owned by a big bank or Wall Street firm.

03. We're real people.

You'll feel it the moment you meet us.
