The US Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries has set out its five key strategies for the year ahead under its 2024 Advocacy Agenda.
ISRI says they are the priorities for advocacy activity at the state/local, federal, and international level.
ISRI president Robin Wiener says the agenda highlights the critical role the recycled materials industry plays in ensuring a sustainable future for the planet.
More resilient
‘These strategies support the industry in its mission to innovate and find more ways to recycle more material, more efficiently into the everyday items we depend on, make our supply chain more resilient, and manufacturing more self-sufficient,’ she says.
The ISRI 2024 Advocacy Agenda focuses on strategies to further strengthen and develop legislative, regulatory, strategic partnerships, and community outreach efforts. The priorities for the industry to ensure safe, economically sustainable, and environmentally responsible recycling, include:
- championing environmental stewardship within reasonable regulatory frameworks
- maintaining market access, development and sustained economic growth
- ensuring a safe and circular environment in an era of increasing electrification
- promoting safe and legal recycling practices
- advancing education, workforce development, and responsible governance
Fulfilling a vision
According to ISRI’s senior vp of advocacy, safety, sustainability Cheryl Coleman, it will work hand-in-hand with more than 1 600 member companies in the US and globally. ‘Our goal is to fulfill our vision of a future that includes safe, economically sustainable, and environmentally responsible recycling.’
ISRI is due to unveil a major rebranding at its Las Vegas convention in April.
