Whitney M. Webber, Director of Public Policy & Government Affairs

As Director, Public Policy & Government Affairs, Whitney supports recycling policy efforts at the state and federal levels.

Why I Care About Recycling

“I see recycling as a win-win: a win for the environment and a win for the economy. Reusing materials not only helps clean up the environment, it also reduces the need to extract more from our planet and keeps those materials supporting a circular economy.”

Personal Passions and Interests
