Recycling Marketing Development Board
Madison
October 26, 1995
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Recycling Market Development Board submits this strategic plan to the Wisconsin Legislature in fulfillment of ss.159.41 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This plan is delivered to the Chief Clerk in each House of the Legislature per the requirements in ss.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes.
Landfill and incineration bans on certain recoverable items in the municipal solid waste stream were enacted by
1989 Wisconsin Act 335, also known as the "recycling law".
1993 Wisconsin Act 75 created the Recycling Market Development Board (RMDB) to coordinate market development activities for these recovered materials. The legislated purpose of the RMDB is to promote the development of sustainable, high-value markets for recovered materials on behalf of, and in cooperation with waste generators, and to promote the orderly and efficient marketing of these materials.
The 1995-97 Biennial Budget directed the RMDB to prepare a strategic plan to "guide the development and implementation of the board's activities" (ss.159.41 Wisconsin Statutes). The Board has fulfilled the statutory requirement in preparing its strategic plan. This plan sets forth measurable goals, a priority list of materials for funding, project funding criteria, as well as action plans for the high ranking materials on the priority list. Additionally, the plan denotes the relationships between the RMDB, business, industry, and government.
The planning process was very thorough. Over one hundred representatives from recycling businesses, the recycling industry, and state and local government all participated in the strategic planning process, offering information through interviews, feedback sessions, and public comment. Market and material studies were also conducted to obtain the most reliable data available.
The Recycling Market Development Board respectfully submits its strategic plan for dispersal to the appropriate standing committees of the Wisconsin Senate.
