WHAT? On behalf of the public, businesses, government operations, and the environment, we are asking lawmakers to legislate the society-wide standardized bin labels to make it possible for people to recycle properly wherever they go, so that recycling and closed-loop manufacturing can finally begin to thrive.
WHY? Currently, every business, school, airport, sports stadium, and municipality/city has been tasked with designing their own recycling labels for their bins. Even if the recycling rules are the same, the labels on bins often look entirely different, which leads to public confusion, costly contamination, wasted money by cities and taxpayers, and an overall failed recycling system.
Legislating the proven society-wide standardized labels to be used on all recycling, compost, and trash bins will end the confusion about how to recycle, allowing people to recycle and compost properly wherever they go, even if the recycling rules change from community to community.
ANALOGY. Imagine if everyone had to design their own stop signs and speed limit signs on the road in front of their school, business, or house. Thanks to society-wide standardized road signs, hundreds of millions of people are able to drive properly wherever they go, even if the driving rules change from road to road.

from the conflicts of interest in the recycling industry. You see, the most powerful industries that control recycling, along with their trade associations and the nonprofit organizations they fund, profit more when recycling is confusing and when it fails.
The standardized labeling solution has been created to work with every unique type of recycling and compost program and for every unique type of bin and lid. This is the most effective solution available today to fix the recycling crisis and make recycling and closed-loop manufacturing thrive.
