The report highlights possible futures the industry faces as well as potential ramifications for business practices, market pressures, and the competitive landscape. “The global trends currently creating unprecedented uncertainty are producing numerous opportunities and risks for the recycled materials industry,” said Mansharamani. “Appreciation for the many cross-currents will help managers, policymakers, and the public understand the increasingly important role that the recycling industry will play in the future.”

The report focuses on several trends, including:
