The campaign that is designed to expand market demand for recycled resins and improve plastic recycling in North America has announced new commitments during the June 2020 Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Member Meeting held virtually in light of the COVID-19 health crisis. Developed by the APR, Washington, The APR Recycling Demand Champions Campaign helps to drive investment in and increase the supply of postconsumer resin (PCR). The campaign is a companion to the recently launched Government Recycling Demand Champions Program.
