Packaging - Danielle Peacock, Sustainable Packaging Coalition
The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) is working to create a harmonized How2Recycle label to clearly indicate whether packaging materials are widely recycled, have limited recycling, or are not yet recycled. The SPC conducted consumer testing which found that a simple label design with mobility loop and chasing arrows is best understood. A pilot program is launching with several companies to test the label on packaging and gather feedback. The goal is to roll out a national How2Recycle labeling system to help consumers recycle correctly and incentivize improved packaging design.

The goals of CHARMS are to increase the types and volumes of materials recovered for recycling to generate revenue and provide more recycling opportunities. CHARMS locations include recycling centers and transfer stations. Hosting community recycling events can be effective, especially if open to non-residents, to increase waste diversion and possible revenue. Key materials for income include electronics, appliances, scrap metal, and rigid plastics, while services for things like shredding, textiles, and batteries provide community benefits. The recommendation is to use a simple pricing strategy, confirm materials criteria, provide examples of acceptable and unacceptable items.
MR Municipal PAYT
This document discusses methods and conclusions from analyzing "interesting towns" that have implemented waste reduction programs in Massachusetts. It provides case studies of Chelmsford, Ipswich, Bedford, Hamilton, and Grafton. Key lessons from these towns include: effective communication and public outreach are important; starting reductions from a higher waste level predicts greater impact; program type impacts results, with PAYT, WRP, and limits on containers producing the most waste diverted; and barrel size matters with automated collection programs.
MR Municipal SSR
This document provides an overview of a town's single stream recycling program. It discusses the history of the program including converting to single stream recycling in 2008. Current statistics on population, households, and tonnages are presented. A comparison of contract quotes for dual stream vs. single stream shows that single stream saved $214,000 over 5 years. Common contamination issues with single stream like plastic bags and trash in recycling bins are outlined. Going forward, the town is considering public outreach, enforcement, smaller carts, and potential changes to improve recycling quality.
MR Packaging BaycrestPlastics
