in President’s Hall
As we advance policies and implement the circular economy, we need to critically examine the definition of recycling. For many years, recycling has elicited thoughts of positive environmental outcomes and warm fuzzy feelings for those who participate in programs in their community. With more recent challenges to accessing international markets and changes to policies on transboundary shipping, we have become aware of the challenges of recycling and the need to improve our existing systems. What does it really mean to recycle, what are the processes and systems that enable it, and how do we design systems for the best possible outcomes?
