Improving Our Recycling System Will Pay Dividends
Recycling only works if everyone can participate and the materials collected can be processed. But recycling is not provided evenly across the U.S., and many packages currently found on store shelves cannot be recycled through residential programs. $17 billion applied to proven recycling solutions will have immediate positive impact, including an economic benefit of $30.8 billion over 10 years (including wages, taxes, landfill savings, and the value of recyclables)
