The MMP aims to provide a state-wide roadmap to improve how post-consumer materials are managed and reduce waste across the state. The plan will include guides to establish convenient, inclusive access to recycling, organics management, waste reduction opportunities, and other disposal options.
As an identified stakeholder, your input is critical to developing a plan that effectively addresses community needs and ensures access to waste management solutions across Indiana.
The MMP will affect pre- and post-consumer recyclables, organics, e-waste, textiles, C&D waste, emerging waste streams, and other materials commonly considered waste. The plan will address current materials management activities while promoting a sustainable materials management approach that considers the full life cycle of materials and helps Indiana reach its goal of a 50% recycling rate.
This initial virtual meeting will provide more details, introduce the parties facilitating the plan’s development, provide a project timeline, and answer questions.
Your participation will be instrumental in developing a new comprehensive MMP that promotes a circular economy for materials while supporting statewide efforts to advance pre- and post-consumer materials management.
