Who We Are

The Recycling Partnership is a purpose-driven organization building a better recycling system—one that works for everyone. In just over a decade, we’ve helped 2 million households gain access to recycling, kept more than 2 billion pounds of material in the system, and helped pass EPR laws that now cover 1 in 5 Americans. We do it shoulder to shoulder with communities, companies, and policymakers, so the change doesn’t just happen. It lasts.
