Few choices are available when it comes to the “hard to recycle itemsâ€. In the last few years some innovative recycling companies have promised to divert these plastics from the landfill and into new products.Â
Â
Consumers and corporations are curious: How’s it now possible to recycle these previously unrecyclable items? What’s really happening? Can we trust that all the source separating and additional costs are worth it? Transparency is needed and this webinar will be a good start.
Â
TerraCycle and Avangard Innovative will provide insight into their respective processes, including how contamination and residual waste items are handled. They’ll answer questions specific to their programs.
Cost: $125; FREE for funders and collaborating NGOs.
$75 for NAHMMA and STAR members.

ABOUT AMERICA RECYCLES DAY
It is the only nationally-recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States! Held on and around November 15, America Recycles Day educates and encourages individuals on how to be more mindful of what they consume, where and how to properly recycle, and to pledge to recycle more and recycle right in their everyday lives.
Focusing on individual action, the day highlights the actions we can all take to collectively address the challenges facing our nation’s recycling system. Through ARD, Keep America Beautiful and its partners inspire communities and individuals to recognize the economic, environmental, and social benefits of recycling. Keep America Beautiful urges people to pledge to reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle in every aspect of their life. The #BeRecycled pledge is a promise to actively choose to live a recycled lifestyle by:
- Recycling at home, work, school and on the go;
- Buying products made with recycled content; and
- Educating and encouraging friends, family, and neighbors to take the #BeRecycled pledge
Aside from the #BeRecycled Pledge, people can be part of the recycling solution by participating or hosting their own America Recycles Day event. Events can be scheduled at any time during the fall leading into the official America Recycles Day celebration, Nov. 15. Keep America Beautiful encourages all participants and event organizers to follow state and local health guidelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.
