Reports also indicate a 63.4% increase in recycled material usage between 2022 and 2023. However, critics point to environmental regulatory fines totaling $127,500 in 2023. Information on fair pay, worker respect, ethical sourcing, and community engagement is largely unavailable, making a comprehensive assessment difficult.
