Recycling is one of the easiest ways for Hoosiers to reduce our carbon footprints, to conserve natural resources and to make Indiana a greener state.

About the IRC...

Our Mission is to support source reduction, reuse, composting and recycling activities in Indiana. To encourage integrated recycling, the Coalition supports buying recycled-content products, and the collection and remanufacturing of recyclable materials. The goal of this support is to conserve our natural resources, decrease reliance on final disposal and to encourage environmental responsibility.

The Coalition provides this support by:

- Fostering a diverse and active membership
- Offering forums for discussion, networking & education
- Supplying materials to support the development of solutions at the local, regional, and state levels
- Developing advocacy positions, serving as a voice of the membership.

We were formed by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1989. The Indiana Recycling Coalition, Inc. (IRC) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization representing concerned citizens, state and local government officials, business, industry and environmental groups.

The Indiana Recycling Coalition is a proud memeber of 1% for the Planet, an organization that helps build and support an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet.
