NWRA serves as the secretariat for the ANSI Z245 Committee on Equipment Technology and Operations for Wastes and Recyclable Materials.

NWRA says the legislation would create a national bottle bill and force a one-size-fits-all approach to recycling.

The bipartisan legislation aims to educate the public to clean up the recycling stream.

More than 20 veterans representing the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and National Guard received a challenge coin designed for the special event.

Awards in five categories were given to companies that have made substantial contributions to American recycling.
