Rubicon Reports Progress on Building a New Plastics Economy

In 2018, we committed to grow the volume and quality of recycled plastics by 15% each year. This year, Rubicon is proud to report a 40% increase in the volume of recycled plastics from 2018 to 2019, which far exceeds our goal.

Rubicon’s mission is to end waste, in all of its forms.

It’s impossible to do this without accurate data — and with it, accurate reporting. Waste and recycling data can be difficult to track, which makes it hard for companies to consolidate their data and measure their progress or set targets. As a Sustainability Analyst at Rubicon, it is my job to ensure that the data we are collecting is as accurate as it can be, to allow for proper reporting that will help to move our industry forward.

Read on to learn about Rubicon’s progress in increasing the volume of recycled plastics in the market, and its work to transform the entire category of waste and recycling
