| What is the UPRC? |
| |
The UPRC was formed 1988 following the first recycling
gathering held in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With the interest expressed by the participants, and with the
support of Lakestate Industries of Escanaba, the Upper Peninsula Recycling Coalition was formed.
The UPRC goals are to promote the reduction of materials going to
landfills through reducing, reusing and recycling.
The UPRC provides a vehicle in the Upper Peninsula to: |
| |
- Foster a cooperative relationship among the recycling programs.
- Provide a network to share ideas, technical assistance, and information between interested
organizations and individuals.
- Provide information and education on waste reduction and recycling through an Annual Conference,
newsletters, and news releases.
- Increase demand for recycled products through public education.
- Promote the use of products made from recycled materials.
- Promote research and development in recycling technology.

Since its inception in 1988, the UPRC has been
sponsoring an Annual Recycling Conference, which is designed as a forum for individuals, businesses, municipalities,
and governmental agencies interested and concerned about recycling. |
