U.S. Packaging Recycled Content Goals Analysis
Despite media reports, recycling and the use of PCR is growing: across all packaging materials, we've seen increased recycling capacity, increased use of PCR demand, and more efforts to recycle and use recycled content! AMERIPEN's 2021 study on PCR goals, supply, and capacity proved to be an invaluable resource for organizations across the packaging value chain – to further support our members' sustainability and advocacy efforts, AMERIPEN and Recycling Is Real have engaged with Circular Matters to update and expand the data covered in the initial study.
This new study investigates the post-consumer recycled content goals set by companies, trade associations, and government entities in comparison to available material supply and recycling capacity across the U.S.
