ADVANCING PACKAGING RECYCLING

AMERIPEN Financing Principles and Objectives for Advancing Packaging Recycling in the U.S.

As the U.S. heads into a period of economic uncertainty, identifying solutions to help continue the advancement of our nation’s infrastructure to support increased recycling is critical.  AMERIPEN recognizes the need for the packaging value chain to help identify options to finance packaging recovery and what role all stakeholders, including industry, should play. 

AMERIPEN believes that financing solutions must have a comprehensive strategy that maps financing objectives with complimentary policies and lays out clear objectives for the financing solutions we could support. The recovery system already has a wide range of tools and stakeholders involved so what we are proposing is not new. Rather, this coordinated and shared responsibility approach is key to ensuring that all parties involved in recycling are working collaboratively towards system efficiencies.

This document outlines key principles and objectives that AMERIPEN has identified for a financing framework for packaging recovery based upon a systems perspective.
