Global Green USA's Coalition for Resource Recovery (CORR) is an industry working group inspired by cradle to cradle principles and dedicated to identifying, promoting, and implementing cost-neutral or better programs to divert, reclaim, recycle, and add value to waste. The CORR targets the following major waste streams: Commercial food waste, wholesale packaging and food & beverage packaging.

Due to rising costs of energy, commodity values, and an increase in corporate measures to produce sustainable products and packaging, the price of recycled materials has skyrocketed. This has resulted in materials that were once considered trash now viewed as important feedstocks.

Through coordinating the efforts of businesses, government, and NGOs, these valuable resources can be discovered and harvested, profiting all constituencies, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand.

The Coalition for Resource Recovery will facilitate this transformation through an innovative supply chain coalition approach that supports the discovery and harvesting of assets in New York’s City’s waste stream.

The Coalition for Resource Recovery was formerly known as the Manhattan Prospect.
