ACCELERATING ACTION
TOGETHER, TRANSFORMING RECYCLING FOR GOOD.
The need for a more resilient and expansive U.S. recycling system is clear.
• Americans want to recycle.
• Federal, state, and local governments want to provide their residents with an opportunity to protect the planet and its people.
• Companies want their products to be recyclable and recycled, instead of ending up in landfills or the natural environment.
• Domestic manufacturers need consistent and growing recycled feedstocks.
All of these needs across the public and private sectors can be met when policy provides the funding mechanisms to make them a reality.
By working with local governments to solve recycling challenges community-by-community nationwide, The Recycling Partnership knows what is needed to help fix the system. This proposal takes those needs and pairs them with policy that can help fund the solutions and begin to address the challenges the U.S. faces in moving toward a circular economy.
The development of this proposal is only the beginning. Now is the time to accelerate action toward a more circular economy for packaging and printed paper through policy. We invite others to join us in this partnership, from both the public and private sectors, as we work to build and improve upon these policy solutions until they become a reality.
