A YEAR OF PROGRESS

摘要

This is an exciting time to be in recycling and to be part of ISRI, both as a member company and as a staff member. Recycling remains vital and critically important to the nation's economy, supporting more than 534,000 U.S. jobs, generating $117 billion in economic activity, and providing $13 billion in federal, state, and local tax revenue. We've had much success telling this positive story this year, including at our Congressional Fly-In, through the participation of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler at ISRI's summer Board of Directors meeting, and from our interaction with more than 2,000 lawmakers and their staffs at the National Conference of State Legislatures meeting.
