To function in total unison, a comprehen-
sive calibration of the entire physical recycling system will also require national harmonization of all outreach and edu-
cation components.
Properly structured standards demonstrate how easy curbside preparation allows for cost-neutral recycling. All disposal of non-recycled residual must be borne by the producers. Calibrated-EPR standards will facilitate nationwide uniformity and place all recycling chain players on the same page with a priority on reducing virgin feedstock required for new single use plastic. Initially increasing post consumer recycled content by 25-30%, then elevating the level of recovered feedstock until demand requires virgin input.
