Demand and Supply Side Policy Work Group
The work group is focused on developing a Guide for Increasing Demand of Post Consumer Recycled Content that includes regulatory and non-regulatory strategies and a compilation of case studies by actors across the value chain. The group will also work to continue to expand upon the Guide to Increasing Recycling Supply developed by the original workgroup through the addition of new case studies.
