Recycled Material Content for National Products

National makes use of two kinds of recycled materials in our products: Post Consumer and Pre Consumer. Post Consumer material is waste that has become material for another product; it has already served a useful purpose. An example of Post Consumer material is aluminum cans that are made into new cans. Pre Consumer material is waste that is left over when producing something else. An example of Pre Consumer material is fabric scraps from cutting material for a chair. The scraps are then used to make trunk liners for cars.

Below is a chart of National products and the average percentages of Post Consumer and Pre Consumer content.
