Residential recycling of rigid plastics can include much more than bottles, according to the Association of Plastic Recyclers.
So the trade group is conducting a webinar at 1 p.m. Eastern time Aug. 1 to explore the opportunities to include more rigid plastic products, such as buckets, totes and baskets, in the residential recycling stream.
The webinar will include: Liz Bedard, rigid plastics recycling director at APR; Samantha MacBride, director of research for the New York City Department of Sanitation; Stephanie Baker, director of market development at KW Plastics Recycling; and Kara Pochiro, communications director at APR.
Registration and more information about the webinar, “Recycling Rigid Plastics Beyond Bottles: Resources to Encourage MRFs and Municipalities to Expand Collection,” is available at www.plasticsrecycling.org/markets/web-seminars.
