Below are some announcements from EPA:

Change in Date for October Webinar about the Impact of Electronics
New date: October 24, 2019
Time: 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

Description: Over the last three years, EPA has consulted with the Consumer Technology Association, the Staples Sustainable Innovation Lab and Dr. Callie Babbitt from the Rochester Institute of Technology to develop, design and implement research to explore the impacts of electronics across their life cycle. Dr. Babbitt will present the results of this study by sharing the major trends in electronic waste generation and management and the implications for sustainable materials management.

More than a 100 Organizations have signed the America Recycles Pledge
As of this week, more than a 100 U.S.-based organizations have signed the America Recycles Pledge. Thank you to all of our pledge signers!

On November 15, 2018, 45 organizations, including EPA, signed the pledge to work together to identify specific actions to take in addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the U.S. recycling system, and they committed to leveraging their collective expertise, strengths and resources to do so. See what progress they've made through ongoing dialogues and actions they have taken: https://www.epa.gov/recycle/framework-advancing-us-recycling-system<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3JoDVgYUF2WN1pjFRW9pEtV7Vc?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epa.gov%2Frecycle%2Fframework-advancing-us-recycling-system>.

On Earth Day 2019, the pledge became available in a web-based format so that more organizations could easily sign it and get involved. If your U.S.-based organization has yet to get involved in the recycling effort, check out our web page to learn more about the America Recycles Pledge, sign it and get involved: https://www.epa.gov/recycle/forms/america-recycles-pledge<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3L2f6kdXHURakYvnshXLuHf7Vc?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epa.gov%2Frecycle%2Fforms%2Famerica-recycles-pledge>.
