The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has announced the growth of its multistakeholder initiative, Beyond 34: Recycling and Recovery for a New Economy. The Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Service at Arizona State University has been selected as a technical partner for the project, providing analysis and the development of tools to help communities increase and improve their recycling efforts.
The Beyond 34 initiative aims to increase the current 34 percent recycling rate in the United States by providing a collaborative, data-driven model for local communities to improve recycling and recovery rates.
“To achieve real progress and develop a stronger future, everyone must bring their expertise and resources to the table,” said Patricia Reiter, executive director, Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Service at ASU. “We’re looking forward to enabling communities to advance their recycling efforts and move the country that much closer to breaking through the 34 percent recycling rate.”
