The caucus was established with the help of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) to raise awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of recycling and to understand the complex issues that affect the recycling industry.
As chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I am proud to be a part of this bipartisan effort to promote recycling education, advocate for recycling legislation, and correct obstacles that currently exist for recyclers.
It is my hope that the caucus will increase the visibility of recycling as yet another way we can save our precious natural resources. Through education and legislation, together we can successfully increase recycling initiatives throughout our nation.
