Abstract
In early 2022, the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) began collaborating with Illinois EPA (IEPA) to identify on-going study needs associated with the Illinois Materials Management Advisory Committee (MMAC) Report that was submitted to the Illinois General Assembly in July 2021. IEPA commissioned ISTC to conduct a two-year study focused on researching large volume recyclable materials to better understand recycling and diversion efforts throughout Illinois and barriers and opportunities to further diversion. This study and report are focused on one primary question – Where should IEPA focus their efforts, resources, and funding to further divert these materials from the landfill?
