Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains a variety of resources and publications relating to recycling management. Documents primarily concern market analysis, policy, technology, program implementation and management. The publications consists of correspondence, guides, newsletters, booklets, books, policy papers, and programs. Between 1985 and 1995, Nancy VandenBerg ran Markets for Recycled Products which focused on purchasing recycled products for waste reduction. This tiny consultancy had influence on federal, state and local government policy. Intentionally, projects were built on predecessors until there was a national movement. VandenBerg wanted to build markets for recovered materials as the collection process matured. She used speeches and handouts to energize those active in other aspects of recycling and to give them working tools. VandenBerg currently resides in Portugal. Dan Knapp and the Institute for Local Self Reliance are responsible for coordinating the collections of material related to recycling for donation to the UIS Archives.
