Award recognizes those who design with recycling in mind
(Washington, DC) – The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), the Voice of the Recycling Industry™, today released a call for entries for the 2017 Design for Recycling® (DFR) Award. The DFR Award is ISRI’s highest award given annually to the most outstanding contribution to products designed with recycling in mind. It recognizes proactive steps made by manufacturers who have actively incorporated DFR principles into products and processes.
ISRI inaugurated the award more than 10 years ago. Previous winners include Cascades Fine Papers Group, Coca-Cola Recycling Company, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Dell Inc., LG Electronics, and this year’s winner Samsung Electronics America. To be eligible for ISRI’s Design for Recycling Award ®, a product must be designed/redesigned and manufactured to:
Interested parties can enter online before the January 20, 2017 deadline. The winner will be recognized at the ReMA 2017 Convention and Exposition to be held April 22-27 in New Orleans.
American consumers say that recyclability matters when making purchasing decisions. According to a survey conducted in November 2014 by Harris Poll, two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans say they look for information on whether or not the product is made from recycled materials when making a purchase. Furthermore, Americans would be willing to spend 13 percent more, on average, on a product if it was fully recyclable (i.e., all parts of the item could be recycled), and an average of 10 percent more for a product if they knew it was made of recycled materials.
