Recycling Reinvented Information

Recycling Reinvented is a nonprofit organization committed to increasing recycling rates of waste packaging and printed material in the United States through an extended producer responsibility (EPR) model. EPR requires that brand owners of packaging and printed materials cover the cost of managing their product waste. EPR would increase recycling rates, reduce government spending, and use private sector efficiencies to reduce the overall cost of recycling. With a diverse group of board members from the nonprofit and private sector, Recycling Reinvented builds a coalition of supporters from the public, private and nonprofit sectors in order to make EPR for packaging and printed materials a preferred method of managing valuable waste. Recycling-Reinvented.org hopes to be a place where industry, government, and nonprofit organizations can come to find out how EPR works, how it can increase recycling rates, and what will be required to make it work.
