Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 50: Inside the APR Recycling Demand Champions Program w/ Kate Eagles and Emily Tipaldo
Q: What are the two main categories for the Demand Champion program and how do they work?
The two categories are makers (companies that produce products containing PCR) and buyers (entities that purchase products made with PCR). Applicants submit a data set, APR reviews it, and then engages in a conversation to determine eligibility and recognition based on the scorecard criteria.
Ep. 43: Seeing is Believing: Recycling in Action with Pia Baker
Q: What do you hope to see as a result of this program?
She emphasizes broad public participation, increased understanding of how recycling actually works, and the growth of a network of recycling evangelists who can spread the message through word-of-mouth, eventually expanding the program to become a nationwide annual event.
Ep. 43: Seeing is Believing: Recycling in Action with Pia Baker
Q: Tell us about the Recycling in Action program.
Pia describes the initiative as a turnkey effort where MRFs and reclaimers across the U.S. open their doors in May, offering tours and information sessions to show the recycling process from curb to end product. The goal is to dispel myths, engage the public, and provide a map and registration for tours.
Ep. 52: Inside the Conversations Shaping Plastics Recycling w/ Michael Westerfield & Nicole Janssen
Q: What do you think policymakers misunderstand about how recycling systems function?
Policymakers often assume supply is the sole issue; in reality, cost dynamics between virgin and PCR and the ability to modulate demand through policy are pivotal for building viable markets.
Ep. 52: Inside the Conversations Shaping Plastics Recycling w/ Michael Westerfield & Nicole Janssen
Q: How can policy help stabilize markets and drive demand for PCR?
Policy can create demand through mandates or incentives for recycled content, while also shaping supply through EPR and standards; alignment across states is crucial to avoid fragmentation and to scale recycling.
