The PA Recycling Markets Center has become a Founding Reporter of The Climate Registry by being the 71st member to join the organization.

The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization established to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors and borders.

Thirty-nine U.S. states, six Canadian provinces, three Native American tribes, two Mexican states and the District of Columbia are the other founders of the organization.

“The RMC has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by courageously stepping forward to support The Climate Registry in its preliminary stages. We are deeply grateful for its integral support in helping to address the challenge of climate change,” said Gina McCarthy, chair of The Climate Registry.

A forerunner in recycling markets development and expansion, the RMC has demonstrated environmental stewardship on several fronts by voluntarily committing to measure, independently verify, and publicly report its greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol. The protocol is based on the internationally recognized GHG measurement standards of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council on Sustainability.
