Recycle / Compost
Actions by which discards are mechanically reprocessed into products or materials or biologically processed to return to the soil.
Recycle / Compost
- Support and expand systems to keep materials in their original product loop and to protect the full usefulness of the materials
- Maintain diversion systems that allow for the highest and best use of materials, including organics
- Recycle and use materials for as high a purpose as possible
- Develop resilient local markets and uses for collected materials wherever possible
- Provide incentives to create clean flows of compost and recycling feedstock
- Support and expand composting as close to the generator as possible (prioritizing home, on site or local composting)
- Consider industrial composting whenever home/decentralized composting is not possible, or if local conditions require/allow anaerobic digestion
