The Recycling Partnership Both Insists on Meaningful Change Across the Recycling System and Assists Communities, Companies, and Policymakers in Enacting Such Change.

 

The Recycling Partnership is a team of experts, practitioners, and thought leaders who are deeply invested in protecting our natural resources, creating more sustainable communities, and delivering on our mission of building a better recycling system. We work alongside communities, companies, and policymakers to enact meaningful change across the entire recycling industry.  

We firmly believe that if you want to recycle, you should be able to recycle. A robust and accessible recycling system is how we achieve this goal. A better system will deliver the true economic and environmental benefits that our people, our communities, and our entire recycling industry deserve.   

This is our mission. This is our purpose. This is who we are. 

Our Positive Impact on the Planet…So Far

Through the hard work of our teammates and 100+ partners over the past 10 years, we’ve been able to divert over one billion pounds of recyclables from entering landfills, prevent over one million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, deliver nearly two million curbside recycling carts to communities, award 100 recycling facility grants to modernize operations, and support over 3,500 recycling programs nationwide. But there’s still more work to do. See how you can help us achieve our mission to build a better recycling system.
