National Recycling Coalition (NRC)

The National Recycling Coalition (NRC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing and improving waste reduction, recycling, composting, and reuse in the United States. Founded in 1978, the NRC has over 4,500 members - including recycling and environmental organizations; large and small businesses; individuals; and federal, state and local governments.

The Coalition, based in Washington, DC, provides technical information, education, training, outreach, and support to its members. It also educates and informs the public on selected recycling issues, shapes public and private policy on recycling and operates programs that encourage recycling markets and economic development.

The goals of the NRC are to:

Provide national leadership and coordination on recycling issues;
Provide education and information on recycling;
Promote increased collection and processing of recyclable materials; and
Develop markets for recovered materials and products with recycled content.

Through their commitment to maximizing recycling, all NRC members are contributing to the common goal of conserving resources and energy, reducing solid waste, protecting the environment and contributing to social and economic development.
