"Closing the Loop: Road Map for Effective Material Value Recovery" , a report recently released by GreenBlue, provides a detailed systems analysis of international packaging recovery systems, including successful collection, sorting, and reprocessing technologies and infrastructures, as well as the waste management policies that support or limit recycling. This 93-page report focuses on material recovery in several EU nations, as well as Australia and Ontario, Canada. It presents a series of snapshots of advanced recycling systems and best practices that could improve recovery in the US. While much of the Road Map is focused on urban areas, it also includes a section on recovering materials in rural settings.
