Policy to Drive Impact and Fight Headwinds THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY ACCELERATOR
In the State of Curbside report, The Recycling Partnership estimated a need for $9.8 billion in investment to create a truly robust recycling system in the U.S. The Circular Economy Accelerator launched in April 2019 to drive change by building consensus and advocating for attainable policy and legislative solutions that rapidly advance the circular economy. This mission-driven policy arm pushes for and seeks to shape policy that incentivizes recycling over disposal; secures sustainable funding for recycling infrastructure and education; and expedites and innovates toward public-private solutions. The team has worked with policymakers at all levels across the country to support and help shape legislation that moves more and better recyclables out of citizens’ homes into the recycling system to be a part of the circular economy.
