Keefe Harrison, Executive Director of The Recycling Partnership, adds, “We’re thrilled to partner with a company that maintains such large-scale and proven dedication to the secondary material supply chain. Through Kimberly-Clark’s membership we’re able to expand our reach to even more communities and households, which translates into added convenience for residents and increased tons of recovered material.”
Over the last two years, The Partnership has worked directly with 72 communities representing 1.2 million households across the U.S. From single stream cart rollouts to operationally-sound communications support, it is systematically transforming the recycling industry. Over the next decade these engagements are projected to capture 248,000 additional tons for recycling and save 1.3 billion gallons of water and 568,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
According to Harrison, “We’re gaining momentum any way you measure it: engaged partners, talented staff, improved community programs, and recovered tonnage. Looking forward, we plan to keep pace in our ongoing quest to make recycling much better.”
The Recycling Partnership is a dynamic industry collaboration focused on systematically and measurably improving curbside recycling in the United States.
