Expanding domestic recycling markets is essential to reach the U.S. National Recycling Goal of increasing the national recycling rate to 50% by 2030. Expanding our recycling capacity supports a circular economy that conserves resources needed to manufacture new products, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and creates U.S. jobs.

Join the U.S. EPA for a rebroadcast of this session, “recycled” from their 2020 America Recycles Summit, as it highlights different approaches being taken by state market development centers and programs in Washington, California, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania -- demonstrating their critical role in improving and creating markets for recyclable materials. Market development programs and centers are part of the broader effort to refocus efforts on recycling market development and highlight the positive environmental and economic impacts of recycling programs.

Following the recorded presentations, expert recycling market development panelists will join the session live to answer your questions.
