California’s dependency on China to purchase our recyclables has come to a screeching halt due to a new China policy called the “National Sword”, which severely limits the level of contamination China will accept coming in to their ports of entry. Consequently, many communities in our State have reluctantly started to landfill our recyclables. This is unacceptable.
There are solutions, and ways we can “convert” materials into products here in California, as opposed to simply diverting them from landfills and shipping them overseas. If California truly wants to be a leader in recycling, we must all work on ways to close the loop and be a leader in recycled-content value added manufacturing as well. Join us for this important event as we work together on environmental and economic solutions.
