Recycling is Infrastructure - Resource Recovery Parks

Waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting are the backbone of the circular economy that will stem climate disruption, address social justice, and create thousands of jobs throughout the country. As the federal government calls for infrastructure investment, communities can respond by creating resource recovery parks to maximize recovery of all categories of materials. The components of a resource recovery park can be co-located or disbursed throughout a community and will provide a bridge to the future of sustainable materials management.
