Our goal is to ensure more than 50% of Colorado’s current waste stream is diverted to reuse/remanufacturing or compost by advancing infrastructure, end markets and policies in waste reduction, recovery and diversion. There are five things we do to accomplish this:
Councils
Organized member groups that meet quarterly and monthly for regional or material updates to work on action projects or legislation.
Roundtables
Discussions with stakeholders on specific material, regional or policy issues. Round tables are focused on either solutions or information.
Action Projects
A group that forms as a result of a round table to work on a 12-month project to solve for a material or policy issue or gap in a closed-loop system. Examples: glass collection pilot, illegal electronics disposal survey and cardboard box-collection pilot.
Policy
The Recycle Colorado Policy Committee works on local and state policy to advance waste diversion through reuse, remanufacturing and composting.
Events
The Summit for Recycling conference brings together stakeholders from all sectors to work on and learn about circular economy and policy solutions for all materials. The Annual Meeting is a one-day event for members to learn about everything that is being accomplished in action groups, councils and committees.
