Last week, be Waste Wise hosted a “U.S. Recycling Policy Status Report,” webinar with panelists Yinka Bode-George, Environmental Health Manager at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL) and Sarah Edwards, Director at Eunomia Research and Consulting. The discussion focused on the current state of the recycling policy landscape, what trends are dominating statehouse conversations, and what’s next.
Bode-George noted that during the most recent sessions, legislators grappled with how the pandemic (or, more broadly: health issues) and waste issues are interconnected.
