“Sen. Carper has been a tireless advocate for recycling,” said ReMA President Robin Wiener. “When I approached him with the idea for the Recycling Caucus 20 years ago, he immediately jumped at it even though he was not a joiner of caucuses.He quickly recognized the importance of demonstrating leadership in an area few were paying attention to at the time.He is a true friend of recycling, and I will always be grateful personally and professionally for that friendship.From his Boy Scout days to his career as a U.S. senator, governor, congressman, and while serving his country in the U.S. Navy, he has served this country well and helped promote the importance and value of recycling in America.”

ISRI supports Sen. Carper’s bipartisan, landmark recycling bill the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act and the Recycling Infrastructure Investment Act.
