Cari Core Values

The following concepts are central to CARI:

• Recyclable materials are not waste.
• Recycling is a truly sustainable development industry.
• Recycling is an environmental solution.
• Recycling creates jobs.
• There should be a national recycling policy.
• Governments should focus on ensuring products are properly design and increasing the demand for recycled products rather than the collection of recyclable materials.
• Governments' legislation and regulations should be simple, distinguish recyclables from waste, prevent overlap in jurisdictions and support free trade.
