New report: Closing the Loop: Road Map for Effective Material Value Recovery

GreenBlue has released a report that examines alternatives to material recovery in the US, where currently just one third of all municipal solid waste is recovered by recycling or composting. Closing the Loop: Road Map for Effective Material Value Recovery provides a detailed systems analysis of international packaging recovery systems, including successful collection, sorting, and reprocessing technologies and infrastructures, as well as the waste management policies that support or limit recycling (Announcement GreenBlue, 5 January 2011).
