Electronics Recycling. Through this initiative, NRC is promoting the recovery, reuse and recycling of obsolete electronic equipment and encouraging the design, manufacture and purchase of environmentally responsible electronic equipment. Our website includes information for businesses and consumers on managing e-waste; a database of e-waste recyclers; policy information at the state, federal, and international levels; model procurement specifications, and more.
Climate Change and Waste Prevention. NRC is promoting the integration of waste reduction activities into state and local Climate Change Action Plans (CCAPs) and goals by demonstrating the positive connection between reducing greenhouse gases and reducing waste. In this section, you can read transcripts from online discussions hosted by the NRC and find a list of peers working on these issues.
Waste Prevention Tools. NRC's Source Reduction Forum has developed a number of resources to assist businesses, consumers, and local governments with implementation of waste prevention programs. This website also includes resources for measuring the effects of source reduction programs. (The terms "source reduction" and "waste prevention" are used interchangeably on this site.)
Recycling Works. NRC is providing relevant information and networking opportunities for municipal recycling coordinators, material recovery operators, material processors, trade association representatives, and others through its Recycling Works program. We also hope to demonstrate how a range of materials can be cost effectively recovered for recycling, while enhancing their quality and market value.
