The Recycling Partnership
| Overview The Recycling Partnership (TRP) is on a mission to transform how recycling works in the United States. By harnessing the will of the American people and engaging both public and private sectors, we’re building a stronger, more accessible recycling system - one that ensures everyone who wants to recycle has the infrastructure to do so. We deliver innovative, data-driven solutions to address the complexities of the U.S. recycling system. Through voluntary investments, we modernize recycling facilities, expand access to services, and drive participation through research and public engagement. We work hand-in-hand with communities, companies, policymakers, PROs, and NGOs to enact meaningful change, advocate for effective policies, and close critical gaps in the system. At the heart of our work is a culture shaped by core values that guide how we show up every day. Partnership is more than our name, it’s how we work and how we embrace both opportunities and challenges. We embrace change, act with integrity, and bring energy and intention to everything we do. We encourage authenticity, bold thinking, continuous learning, and reflection. Most importantly, we stand up and speak out for fairness and belonging. We take our mission seriously and invite others to join us in building a better recycling system for all.
