Globally responsible recycling is essential

摘要

It is rare that I get the opportunity to thank Jim Puckett, but I need to do just that for the recognition he provided of ISRI's environmental justice policy in his op-ed on the previous pages of this magazine. As noted in ISRI's environmental justice statement, recyclers are committed to being good neighbors in their communities by operating environmentally responsible and safe recycling facilities, and by engaging in our communities. We recognize our role in building and maintaining healthy neighborhoods. Through these activities, recyclers seek to be recognized as members of and partners in their community’s well-being and growth. Recycling is essential to communities, just as it is essential to the manufacturing supply chain in the United States and globally.
