CALIFORNIA'S
RECYCLING CHALLENGE
Launched in 2019, California’s Recycling Challenge is a special research tour to examine best practices in materials management and the circular economy. We meet with government, industry, and NGO leaders in North America and California and visit facilities that process plastics, textiles, household hazardous waste, organic materials, bottles & cans, and more. We consider how California can continue to augment its recycling infrastructure and advance the circular economy through strategic policies and partnerships.
