National Recycling Coalition (NRC)
The National Recycling Coalition is a non-profit organization that is focused on the promotion and enhancement of recycling in the United States. We are 23-affiliated recycling organizations strong, and have a network of more than 6,000 members that extends across waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. The organization works to maintain a prosperous and productive recycling system that is committed to the conservation of natural resources, as well as accelerate sustainable approaches to the management of discarded materials. The Coalition represents and advocates for every sector of the recycling industry across the country, on the local, state and federal levels. We provide our members with the tools and resources they need to convey to their community members, decision makers, and news media the important benefits that recycling provides to our economy and environment.
