2019 WASTECON

In 2018, EPA hosted the America Recycles Day (ARD) Summit that brought together stakeholders from across the U.S. recycling system to join EPA in signing the America Recycles Pledge. Since that important event, EPA has worked with the signatories to develop a Framework for Advancing the U.S. Recycling System that guides industry and agency priorities to sustain and improve recycling in America. As ARD 2019 approaches, EPA Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery Deputy Director Kathleen Salyer shares the progress that has been made and what more can be done.
