Description

How will an adoption of a national recycling goal change the way we recycle? Will this give everyone a common purpose to strive for ending the anxiety and stress caused by low prices, soaring contamination and changing recycling programs? Can everyone work together in harmony as we move seamlessly toward our new goal? Or will competing priorities and demands, continued packaging changes and uneven service continue to exacerbate the current issues? Did COVID-19 help or hurt recycling? Which COVID-19 changes are temporary, and which are permanent? Will the implementation of export restrictions from Basel have any meaningful impact given that plastic exports have been in freefall for years? Find out the answers to these questions and more during this session.
