As conversations around climate change heat up, colleges and universities are beginning to lead the way in looking for solutions. The National Recycling Coalition (NRC), joining 23 industry organizations and 6,000 members, is tapping into this population’s energy, which began decades ago when it started inviting schools to tag along at its conferences, then created a college and university recycling coalition, which later became CURC, representing recycling and sustainability professionals in higher education who help academia excel in recycling and waste reduction.
