Conference in New Orleans, LA, and discussed the organization's definition of recycling to ensure that it remains relevant within the ever-changing recycling "industry." Special guest, Bill McDonough (author of the popular book,
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Cradle2Cradle</span></em>) joined the Board for the lively and insightful discussion after his inspiring keynote presentation. After excellent dialogue, the updated definition of recycling adopted by NRC
is:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">"Recycling is a series of activities by which material that has reached the end of its current use is processed into material utilized in
the production of new products." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The definition is a section of a larger policy document that is still being finalized by the Policy Committee and will be released soon.

management of discarded materials in the United States. The Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Summit, to be held in the Washington D.C. area in late Spring of 2015, aims to enrich the value and role of SMM initiatives in communities across the United
States. Its ultimate goal will be to assist in the adoption of SMM as a method of choice for managing discarded materials. NRC will facilitate a dialogue among participants to reach deeper connections for actions and activities in the future. The key to this
Summit will be the development of action-oriented strategies intended to promote SMM throughout North America. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

reduction and recovery rates fairly flat-lined."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

asked me how I got into the business of recycling. He followed that with a statement that amazed me. He said I was the only person he knew that had anything to do with the waste, recycling, and reuse industry. I figured he must know hundreds of people in our
hometown and even more from his many years growing up in New York. I got to thinking that it may not be that he did not know people in this industry; he just did not understand the industry and all the jobs that are related.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The most common misconception is that the only jobs created by the industry are those of collection truck drivers, landfill workers, or
municipal solid waste employees. Well those are all indeed important. Collection and processing are critical sectors of handing waste and recycling and municipalities are chartered to handle a community's solid waste. But this is only a drop in the bucket
by whom and how discarded materials are handled. There are so many more jobs that are directly related to waste, recycling, and reuse. In fact, there are so many jobs related to this industry it is difficult to list them all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">This issue has been around for many years. The US Government is not alone in dealing with the issue of defining what jobs are supported
by this industry; many other countries have spent years looking at all the "hands" touching discarded material and the hands processing this material and turning it into new commodities. Then there are the jobs that take these commodities and turn them into
new products. In addition, there are the consultants, brokers, equipment manufacturers, software developers, accountants, managerial and administrative jobs and the list goes on and on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">The NRC has in the past tried to tackle the issue of identifying jobs related to recycling and reuse. It is a task that continues today
and one that needs industry leaders to step up and help. The US Government needs to create job codes that cover more than just the truck driver or municipal worker. This industry has grown so much over the past 30 plus years and it will only continue to get
larger going forward. It is time the industry gets the credit for all the jobs it is responsible for generating. It is time to put this industry in the spotlight for the enormous growth that has happened and the growth that is still to come.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">This industry is growing larger everyday and with this growth comes new jobs. It is time to give the industry the support it needs to help
with this growth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
