U.S. EPA Organizes Stakeholders Around Financing U.S. Recycling Programs
According to Resource Recycling, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has asked 27 local and state government managers and packaging industry executives to hold multi-stakeholder discussion on the sustainable financing of municipal recycling of packaging materials. The first meeting was in September.
The group will focus on determining the opportunities and challenges of the 9,000-plus local recycling programs. The goal is to develop a detailed action plan that is state-based but nationally coordinated. Specifically, task force members will look at the potential opportunity for an extended producer responsibility financing system under which brand owners would finance local recycling efforts. More
