You have probably heard someone say "recycling is confusing." Why are materials accepted in one community, but not in another, even when those communities are right next to each other? Are the materials being processed at the same Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)? What materials do belong in the curbside recycling program?
Trying to reduce your waste stream contamination rates and improve the effectiveness of your recycling program? Join us for a brief overview of waste tracking in Portfolio Manager, and to hear recycling best management practices and strategies from The Recycling Partnership.
Imagine a world where packaging is minimal, and what remains is reused and recycled, with few environmental impacts. Strong extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs can help us get there. Under advanced EPR systems, businesses have incentive to incorporate eco design, waste prevention, reuse, and recycling into their operations, returning valuable resources to the circular economy.
