SERDC and CVP announce the launch of the Recycling Partnership
On April 30th at the Walmart Sustainability Expo, the Southeast Recycling Development Council (SERDC, serdc.org), along with the Curbside Value Partnership (CVP, recyclecurbside.org), proudly announced the launch of The Recycling Partnership, a public-private recycling initiative resulting from the SERDC 120 efforts. CVP will handle the administrative functions for the Partnership, while SERDC will remain an integral part of the initiative.
After an intense, fast-paced effort over the past four months, SERDC executive director Will Sagar attributes SERDC 120’s major success to the combined efforts of many, in particular with Resource Recycling Systems (RRS). He states that “our combined efforts proved to not only reach SERDC’s ambitious goals but go beyond what the industry could have expected. This is an exciting time for recycling and packaging recovery.” While the goal was ambitious, the work was organized, moved quickly, and engaged many of the leading packaging and recycling experts in the United States.
