The Recycling Development Center (Center) is an Ecology program in partnership with the Department of Commerce (Commerce). The Center was formed to provide or facilitate marketing, policy analysis, and research and development to strengthen recycling markets and processing in Washington.
Commerce provides business, marketing, and technical assistance to support the public and private sectors. The Center works with an advisory board representing public agencies, private industry, universities, and nonprofits.
The Center's goal is to improve domestic recycling markets. The work focuses on conversion or remanufacturing of waste, like mixed waste paper and plastics, into new products.
