A Response on Recycling

Early this month, the New York Times published an opinion piece, “The Reign of Recycling,” which took issue with recycling in the United States. SWANA promptly submitted a letter to the editor to the Times and also teamed with the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) and Keep America Beautiful (KAB) to offer a joint response. The joint letter of response can be viewed at the link below.
