Plastics Industry Association to Celebrate Recycling Week

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) will commemorate Recycling Week from November 11-15, reaffirming the industry’s continued commitment to promoting recycling efforts across the United States. This weeklong observance provides an important opportunity to spotlight the progress, innovations, and partnerships driving a circular economy for plastics.

Throughout Recycling Week, PLASTICS will engage with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to foster a recycling infrastructure that benefits both the environment and the economy. “Recycling Week reminds us that we all need to work together to increase recycling rates in America,” said PLASTICS President and CEO Matt Seaholm. “By collaborating across industries, communities, and governments, we can enhance recycling infrastructure, promote innovation in materials recovery, and ensure that valuable materials are returned to the economy rather than ending up in landfills.”

“The plastics industry is committed to making plastic material more sustainable and supporting innovative recycling technologies that will improve recycling rates and ensure that plastics are repurposed effectively,” said PLASTICS Vice President of Sustainability, Patrick Krieger. “Recycling is not only possible; it’s essential to creating sustainable systems that support a circular economy.”
