What We Do

The Recycling Partnership insists on meaningful change across the recycling system and assists communities, companies, and policymakers to enact these changes.

Here’s just some of the ways we’re building a better recycling system:

• We mobilize funds and facilitate grants for local communities to modernize recycling facilities, improve access to recycling, and provide millions of curbside recycling carts to households across the nation.
• We partner with companies and brands to develop new solutions for addressing critical gaps in the recycling system.
• We work with companies to optimize recyclability for materials like aluminum,
• polypropylene, PET, and film & flexibles.
• We conduct research and develop campaigns to grow consumer trust in recycling programs for greater public participation.   
• We work with policymakers across all levels of government to enact new state and national policies that ensure long-term funding for paper and packaging recycling.
• We advocate for a circular economy to help tackle climate change, protect our environment, and preserve our natural resources.
