About us
CRI's mission is to make North America a global model for the collection and quality recycling of packaging materials. As a research institute, it is our mission bring about a rapid increase in recycling for a world where no material is wasted, and the environment is protected. We succeed because companies and people collaborate to create a strong, sustainable domestic economy. We achieve our mission by: Producing authoritative research and reporting and education on policies and practices that empower communities to reduce waste (and related emissions) and increase recovery, reuse, and high-end/closed loop recycling of beverage containers, packaging and printed paper. Creating and maintaining a database of information on container and packaging generation, disposal, recovery and recycling in the United States and abroad. Studying container and packaging reuse and recycling options and legislation, including deposit systems, and their environmental and economic impacts. These include state, national and international programs and policies. Educating on recycling options for local, state and national government agencies and elected officials, for citizen groups, the print and broadcast media, publications and industry groups. Providing information, consultation, technical assistance and tools to local citizens, media, community groups and public and elected officials considering a deposit system to recycle or reuse containers and packaging. Creating and sponsoring national networks for mutual progress (for customers and stakeholders). This page will keep you up to date on CRI activities, including webinars, as well as recycling news.

A new National Recycling Coalition draft policy titled "Chemical Recycling is Not Recycling" says terms like "chemical processing," "molecular processing," "chemical recycling" & "advanced recycling" are misleading & don't meet NRC's policy & definition of recycling. The draft policy continues: "Non-mechanical processes that convert plastics at the end of life into petrochemical products that are fuels or used to make fuels do not meet NRC’s definition of recycling and thus cannot be properly considered recycling."

Per CRI President Susan V. Collins: Another sustainability report from The Coca-Cola Company where they lament the failure to achieve their recycled content & recycling rate "goals," all while omitting to say that they lobby against #DRS (beverage container deposit return systems), the only policy option that can help them reach their "goals." https://lnkd.in/d2RfhWYk
