Georgia leading in the RecycleNet ROCs initiative
Salt Lake City, Utah October 23, 2008, RecycleNet Corporation is pleased to announce that recycler’s in the state
of Georgia have embraced the RecycleNet ROCs program and are the international leaders in reporting recycling
transactions.
RecycleNet Corporation launched the Recycling Offset Credits (ROCs) program in June 2008 as a voluntary program
for anyone in the world to report recycling transactions. RecycleNet ROCs program provides a certified measurement
system to recognize and reward companies for their recycling efforts. RecycleNet will issue/award Recycling Offset
Credits (ROCs) for each ton of material recycled by participants.
The RecycleNet ROCs program has had participation from companies throughout the United States as well as the rest
of the world. Participants in the south eastern United States lead by Georgia have accumulated the most
ROC transactions over the first three months of our program.
The Recycling Offset Credits (ROCs) program is an effort to provide a universally recognized standard to measure
and certify recycling efforts and to demonstrate the economic impact of the recycling industry.
RecycleNet Corporation invites any company, institution or organization to participate in the voluntary ROCs program
by reporting materials recycled. There is no fee to participate and the program is open and applicable to anyone in
all stages of the recycling/reverse distribution supply chain.
