Florida Recycling Partnership (FRP) is dedicated to improving Florida’s overall recycling efforts. As a business coalition, FRP members are working to reduce the waste they produce and increase the use of recycled materials. They also help provide greater recycling opportunities for consumers and end users.
FRP also seeks to educate state and local leaders, as well as the public, on the financial and environmental benefits of recycling, by recognizing the tremendous damage caused by the amount of rubbish produced by a growing population.
