Abstract

EPA recognizes that collective and collaborative commitments are best achieved when there are common goals. At the 2020 America Recycles Summit on November 17, 2020, EPA announced the overall national recycling goal of increasing the U.S. recycling rate to 50% by 2030. This national goal will provide the benchmark to evaluate the success of the collective efforts to improve the nation’s recycling system. EPA is now working to develop a detailed methodology for the measurement of recycling rate. For the purposes of this comment period, EPA is soliciting comments on recycling rate measurement methodology only. The purpose of the comment period is to inform methodology and identify key data points that EPA may include when calculating the national recycling rate.
