About PRRP

The Puerto Rico Recycling Partnership (PRRP) brings together government (at all levels), non profit organizations, citizens, environmental groups, and the private sector to promote Sustainable Materials Management (SMM), which includes materials source reduction, clean composting, reuse and recycling. The PRRP was formed in early 2010 by the Puerto Rican government and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
