Mission-Based
Recyclers:
Emphasize education and building trust with the public and their workers to keep materials clean
and contamination rates low.
Work collaboratively with local businesses to establish long-term local markets for quality recycled
materials marketed for their highest and best use.
Obtain better market prices by reliably providing high quality materials that businesses can count
on as feedstock for their operations.
Report honestly and transparently so communities can partner with them and make improvements
based on facts and experience.
Retain employees longer by providing safe and healthy work environments, with living wages and
benefits. Special attention is paid to hiring from the community and to providing youth
development, training programs, and career pathways.
Innovate and re-invest resources for community benefit rather than shareholder profits.
Advocate for Zero Waste policies, climate action, local food and environmental justice.
