There is growing recognition that the current global use of resources and materials to meet human needs may lead to potential environmental, economic and social challenges. Two international organizations that look at materials use and associated environmental impacts, the International Resource Panel (IRP; launched by the United Nations Environment) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), released reports in 2019 to further investigate and understand trends in and potential consequences of global materials use.

Natural disasters challenge communities every year and are expected to increase in frequency and intensity. In addition to addressing the loss of homes, lives, and power from natural disasters, communities are tasked with the difficult job of managing large amounts of natural disaster debris that may be generated. Debris may damage necessary infrastructure, block access to roads, and pose threats to human health and the environment. Cleaning it up can be time-consuming and costly, and recovery is not complete until all debris has been managed.

Starting April 2019, The Recycling Partnership will launch “Webinar Wednesdays,” offering monthly free webinars on contamination-fighting best practices and communications tools to better your community’s recycling program.
