NWRA Supports Policies that Strengthen Recycling Markets in EPA’s National Recycling Strategy
Arlington, VA – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its National Recycling Strategy. The U.S. recycling system faces many challenges, including reduced markets for recycled materials, recycling infrastructure and confusion about what can be recycled.
“We believe the EPA has identified the right objectives to support making recycling resilient and strong,” said NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith. “NWRA supports policies that strengthen recycling markets and reduce contamination. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the EPA on these issues.”
NWRA previously commented on the EPA’s National Recycling Strategy when the comment period was open.
