Building Better Systems: Infrastructure That Drives Recycling Behavior
May 7th | 1:30 - 3:00 PM ET
This session explores the critical role of infrastructure for driving behaviour change in recycling and composting programs. Education raises awareness, but it’s infrastructure that removes barriers, creates accountability, and helps ensure that better behaviours actually stick.
