The National Framework for Advancing the U.S. Recycling System is a national sectoral framework document of the United States of America. Its main objectives are to promote education and outreach; enhance materials management infrastructure; strengthen secondary material markets; and enhance measurement.
More specifically, the document aims to collaborate to develop consistent messages for key recycling issues as a key priority action. Build upon ongoing work and success stories. Include the benefits of recycling, the importance of buying products with recycled content, and preventing contamination of recycling streams; compile existing information on funding opportunities for infrastructure investments nation-wide; host market development workshops across the country; and compile information on a range of metrics and measures, including definitions, what types of analyses these metrics and measures support, where in the recycling process these measures/metrics apply, data available, data gaps/ needs, quality of data, and pros and cons of the various measures.
