Scrap Tire News, February 2010
The Northeast Recycling Council, Inc. (NERC), Brattleboro, Vermont, has announced the launch of the Reuse Marketplace, the nation’s first multi-state materials exchange network, which enables businesses, government agencies and nonprofits that have unwanted materials to connect with markets beyond their local areas. The Reuse Marketplace helps participants in seven states find alternatives to the disposal of valuable materials, and in the process, trim their waste removal costs, reduce the quantity of items they send to landfills, and lower carbon emissions.
“The Reuse Marketplace is the first step in what could become a national effort to link materials exchanges in all 50 states,” NERC’s announcement stated. NERC serves as the administrator of the Reuse Marketplace, which has partnered with eight materials exchanges in seven states: Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Vermont.
