US EPA National Recycling Strategy and Sustainable Materials Management Updates

Alyssa Kuhn, Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Region 4

There have been changes to the EPA's Sustainable Materials Management program including the 10 Year Vision and transition to a Circular Economy Program. The National Recycling Strategy is the first part of the EPA's 6-part Circular Economy Strategy Series. All of the objectives for the National Recycling Strategy feed a 10-year vision that embraces circularity, sustainable materials management and addresses climate change and environmental justice.​
