Community Engagement SERVING CITIZENS NATIONWIDE
Advancing the recycling collection system to unlock supply from all U.S. homes is a core pillar of our work. We know that quality recyclables – the supply – are in the home, and recovering that supply is managed by cities, counties, and solid waste authorities. There are three words that define our philosophy as we support this system: action, collaboration, and scale. In order to unlock supply at the scale the U.S. needs, we are reaching further, faster than ever. We have diversified our grant and resource development beyond individual towns, establishing strategic partnerships with United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regions, states, MRFs, haulers, and regional governments. We seek out creative solutions that lead to game-changing initiatives in the industry, unlocking supply of quality recyclables at a rapid and replicable scale. We are building a network of amazing people that manage and link critical aspects of the U.S. supply chain who, with the right tools, will continue to transform our recycling system and catalyze the circular economy. This report presents a representative sample of our work using these principles.
