Recycled materials and trash should look very different from each other,
but for years they have been converging in the U.S. China has not been the
creator of today's crisis in the industry - U.S. mills have been
complaining for years - but China's recent embargo of U.S. recycling
imports is shining a mirror on our recycling industry and providing a clear
signal that we can no longer pretend diversion of waste into a recycling
bin is recycling.

Material Recovery Facilities can produce quality materials out of both
single stream and dual stream inputs, but not when 20+% of the input
"recyclable" stream, in some cases, are not recyclables. A combination of
"wishful recycling" and insufficient enforcement of quality is proving very
damaging to the industry - abysmal and volatile markets, a dirty product
that is not a reliable "commodity", closed plants, and programs that are
hurting economically.

We cannot continue to act and behave as if business as usual will offer a
solution to today's issues. We must fundamentally shift how we speak to the
public, how we collect and process our recyclables, and what our end
markets accept and utilize to truly recycle.

Join NRC and the Georgia Recycling Coalition for the second in our series
of Markets Development Workshops and learn how we can create jobs, improve
the quality and quantity of recyclables and increase efficiency in our
systems.
