Waste Management joins with APR to champion post-consumer recycling

Waste Management (WM) advocates for increased end market demand for post consumer recycled (PCR) materials to provide sustainable end markets for the recycling industry. Recognizing the role the Company could play in making a direct impact, WM worked with Cascade Cart Solutions to integrate bulky rigid plastics collected in curbside recycling programs to begin producing the Company’s curbside carts.

The new EcoCart, unveiled at WM’s 10th Annual Sustainability Forum, is made with 10 percent post consumer content. With the Company’s cart purchasing commitment, WM joined together with the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Recycling Demand Champion Campaign. The program is designed to foster and build the end-use market place, calling on companies to commit to purchasing products and with residential post consumer plastic. As a Demand Champion, WM will help improve plastics recycling in North America by committing to increase our use of PCR.
