Brittany LaValley, Vice President of Materials Advancement

(she/her/hers)

Brittany LaValley is the Vice President of Materials Advancement for The Recycling Partnership, a mission-driven organization committed to protecting the planet by fixing recycling and activating a circular economy in the U.S.

Brittany brings to The Recycling Partnership over 15 years of broad-ranging industry experience in sustainability, operations, and finance, combined with a lifelong passion for recycling and caring for the planet. While in a role broadly supporting sustainability programming, her interest was initially piqued when she learned more in-depth about materials recovery facilities (MRFs). This served as a gateway for Brittany to learn about the realities of recycling in the U.S. Her diverse knowledge and desire to contribute to solutions that build a better recycling system led her to pursue a full-time career in the space.

In her role as Vice president of Materials Advancement at The Recycling Partnership, Brittany oversees the strategy for material-specific recycling investments, which is focused on increasing recycling rates for materials with a scalable path to circular solutions.

Why I Care About Recycling and a Circular Economy
“We simply cannot continue to place the strain that we have on the planet. Learning about the realities of recycling opened my eyes to what’s needed and the role I could play in supporting the shift to a circular economy.”

Personal Passions and Interests
Brittany loves problem-solving and fixing things and can find ways to apply those interests in anything and everything she does. She lives in Burlington, Vermont, with her husband and two kids.
