America Recycles

Success Stories in Recycling From the Signers of the America Recycles Pledge

While challenges do exist, on America Recycles Day it is important to celebrate successes to remind us of the significant progress made by working together. Incredible work to propel the state of recycling into the future is being done across the recycling system from municipalities and materials recovery facilities to technology providers, companies, and more.

The stories in this booklet are a small sampling of the many recent successes in the field of recycling. Each of these entries come from companies and organizations that signed EPA’s America Recycles Pledge – they represent that entity’s view of how active participation in America’s recycling system has helped their organization.
