Americans aren’t doing nearly enough when it comes to recycling, particularly at home. Just over 20% of the plastic, glass, cardboard and paper is actually recycled, according to a report by the Recycling Partnership. Recycling's availability is a key issue: After studying the 9,000 collection programs in the U.S, the organization discovered that 85% of single-family homes had access to recycling, but that figure fell to 37% for multi-family homes. And not every state accepts all recyclables. The partnership says forcing package producers to pay fees for their waste would dramatically boost recycling. California and Oregon have the highest recycling participation rates (37%); a number of states, including Montana, Mississippi, North Dakota and Alabama, have participation rates under 10%. https://lnkd.in/g_cjVKSF
