RRS (Resource Recycling Systems)

📚 Sharing Knowledge at #RRC2024! At the Resource Recycling Conference in Louisville, KY, one of our behavior change experts, Samantha Kappalman, led a star panel of resident engagement leaders, including Annie White, Elisa Seltzer, Joel Schoening, and Louisville educator Karen Maynard, to discuss best practices in drafting and implementing community education plans. Empowering communities with education is a vital step toward fostering sustainable materials management. From strategy to execution, we’re proud to share insights that help create more informed and engaged communities. Let’s continue building a future where everyone is part of the solution! 🌎 ♻️ #CommunityEducation #Sustainability #MaterialsManagement #RRS #RRC2024

Do you know the different types of textile recycling? Mechanical recycling is the most common method for recycling consumer textiles, where physical processing shreds materials into smaller pieces to be recycled into textile materials for further use. Chemical recycling of textiles uses processes that break down materials on a molecular level. When solving for textile waste and recovery, the textile composition and design impact the efficiency and modes of recycling and inform the development of textile recovery programs and policies.
