摘要

Speakers at the Residential Recycling Conference held in Chicago discussed current trends in recycling and waste management and commodities. "Recycling rates are increasing (34 percent in 2010) and customers are much more aware of recycling," said Sharon Kneiss, President and CEO of Environmental Industry Associations (EIA). Collections for recycling are increasing, with more than 10,000 communities having access to recycling collection. More materials are being collected, including "more types of plastics," she stated.
