The National Recycling Coalition (NRC) is hosting a significant virtual event, the Plastics Survey Results Forum, on March 26, 2026, from 2-3:30 p.m. Eastern time. The event will provide an exclusive overview of the results from the NRC’s recent plastics recycling survey, which was distributed to its members to gain deeper insights into the current state of plastics recycling in the United States and beyond.

This online forum will feature a detailed presentation by NRC’s Plastics Subcommittee, which will cover the methodology of the survey, followed by a review of the responses. An initial synthesis of key themes and insights emerging from the responses will also be shared, providing valuable data on how the recycling community is tackling plastic waste and the effectiveness of current systems.

Following the presentation, there will be an interactive discussion segment where participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with the presenters. This part of the forum will allow NRC members to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and highlight any gaps or additional perspectives they believe should be considered. The goal is to refine the initial findings and ensure that all aspects of the plastics recycling process are thoroughly examined.

The forum’s outcomes will be crucial in shaping the policy recommendations that will be reviewed and discussed by the NRC board in the coming months. The feedback and insights gathered during the event will help inform these recommendations, ensuring they reflect the realities faced by those in the recycling industry and contribute to meaningful policy improvements in plastics recycling practices.

The Plastics Survey Results Forum is a unique opportunity for NRC members to collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to a forward-thinking conversation on how to enhance plastics recycling systems across the country. By participating, members can have a direct impact on the direction of future recycling policies and play an important role in tackling plastic waste more effectively.

Interested NRC members can register for the event on the NRC website to secure their participation in this exclusive forum. The session promises to provide valuable insights into the state of plastics recycling and a chance for members to collaborate in refining policy strategies for the future.
