Create an ArcGIS Online account.On America Recycles Day, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a National Recycling Goal to increase the U.S. recycling rate of materials generated in municipal solid waste (MSW) to 50 percent by 2030. To further this goal and support the building of new recycling infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), EPA developed a map displaying estimated generation of recyclable materials, estimated recycled quantities, existing recycling infrastructure, potential recycling end markets, and other MSW infrastructure such as landfills and transfer stations. The map can be used to identify infrastructure gaps, facilitate a needs analysis, and better understand where funding could be allocated to enhance markets.
This dataset provides estimated tons generated and recycled by U.S. ZIP code and material. It relies on materials management reports and surveys from various states and regions, State Measurement Program (SMP) data, the Ball Corporation's Fifty States of Recycling, EPA's EPA’s Excess Food Opportunities Map, and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey dataset. EPA estimated the quantities generated and recycled by ZIP code by dividing state reported generation and recycled quantities by the population for each state and for each material to arrive at state-specific per capita rates. Those per capita rates were then applied to the population of each ZIP code in each corresponding state. By clicking on the map, the user can see the estimated tons generated per capita and recycled per capita. Estimated recycling potential for each material is the difference between estimated tons generated and estimated tons recycled. The ZIP codes with the greatest difference in generated and recycled tons have higher estimated recycling potential.
The data were then integrated with a U.S. Census Bureau Tiger Database ZIP code shapefile to create the resulting data layer. The ZIP code shapefile was simplified to remove vertices. This dataset includes 16 recyclable material types: aluminum, cardboard, electronics, food waste, glass, HDPE bottles #2, PET bottles #1, PET other #1, PP (polypropylene) containers #5, rigid plastics #3 to #7, steel cans, tires, paper, textiles, yard trimmings, and wood. Note that there are certain materials for which data are not available for every state. In these cases, the layer will only display ZIP codes where data are available.
The map provides estimated U.S. recycling quantities, infrastructure, materials markets, and supporting market factors using the best available data at the time the map was developed (2021-2022). While data sources range from 2011 to 2021, most data are from 2018-2021. The map was created and by Industrial Economics, Inc. (IEc), a consultancy supporting EPA to develop the Recycling Infrastructure and Market Opportunities Map. The map is managed by EPA’s Office of Land and Emergency Management. This project was supported in part by an appointment to the Research Participation Program at the Office of Land and Emergency Management, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education through an interagency agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy and EPA.

This dataset provides locations of potential primary recycling end markets in the U.S. Potential primary end markets are defined as industries that can potentially use recycled material directly in production. The dataset includes end markets for 10 different materials: glass, food waste, paper, organics, leather, plastics, metals, rubber, textiles, and wood. The data provide facility name, facility address, phone, website, NAICS code, NAICS description, relevant material type(s), and whether they use multiple material types. The layer relies on data from D&B Hoovers 2021. To identify the industries associated with potential primary end markets, EPA relied on industry reports (e.g., IBISWorld) that define the potential primary end markets for recyclable materials. EPA identified the NAICS codes for relevant industries, categorized them by material type, and compiled the list of facilities associated with those NAICS codes from D&B Hoovers. Finally, EPA pulled information from D&B Hoovers for each facility and geocoded facilities using their addresses.

This dataset provides estimated tons generated and recycled by U.S. zip code and material. It relies on materials management reports and surveys from various states and regions, State Measurement Program (SMP) data, Ball Corporation’s Fifty States of Recycling report, EPA’s Excess Food Opportunities Map, and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American County Survey dataset. Quantities generated and recycled by zip code were estimated by dividing state reported generation and recycled quantities by the population for each state and for each material to arrive at state-specific per capita rates and then those per capita rates were applied to the population of each zip code in each corresponding state. Estimated recycling potential for each material is the difference between estimated tons generated and estimated tons recycled.

Below is an explanation of the data along with some features that are available on this map (description is also provided in the "Getting Started" widget of the application).A variety of different colored circles appear throughout the map. They represent sites that are associated with the following programs:1) Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) sites:a) Historical Inactive - Identifies sites from an older database that are non-active sites where, through a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) or other evaluation, DTSC has determined that a removal or remedial action or further extensive investigation is required.b) School Cleanup - Identifies proposed and existing school sites that are being evaluated by DTSC for possible hazardous materials contamination. School sites are further defined as “Cleanup”, where remedial actions are or have occurred.c) School Evaluation - Identifies proposed and existing school sites that are being evaluated by DTSC for possible hazardous materials contamination. School sites are further defined as “Evaluation”, where further investigation is needed.d) Corrective Action - Investigation or cleanup activities at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or state-only hazardous waste facilities (that were required to obtain a permit or have received a hazardous waste facility permit from DTSC or U.S. EPA).e) State Response - Identifies confirmed release sites where DTSC is involved in remediation, either in a lead or oversight capacity. These confirmed release sites are generally high-priority and high potential risk.f) Evaluation - Identifies suspected, but unconfirmed, contaminated sites that need or have gone through a limited investigation and assessment process.g) Tiered Permit - A corrective action cleanup project on a hazardous waste facility that either was eligible to treat or permitted to treat waste under the Tiered Permitting system.2) State Water Board or DTSC sites:a) Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Cleanup - Includes all Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites that have had an unauthorized release (i.e. leak or spill) of a hazardous substance, usually fuel hydrocarbons, and are being (or have been) cleaned up. These sites are regulated under the State Water Board's UST Cleanup Program and/or similar programs conducted by each of the nine Regional Water Boards or Local Oversight Programs.b) Cleanup Program - Includes all "non-federally owned" sites that are regulated under the State Water Board's Site Cleanup Program and/or similar programs conducted by each of the nine Regional Water Boards. Cleanup Program Sites are also commonly referred to as "Site Cleanup Program sites".c) Voluntary Cleanup - Identifies sites with either confirmed or unconfirmed releases, and the project proponents have requested that the State Water Board or DTSC oversee evaluation, investigation, and/or cleanup activities and have agreed to provide coverage for the lead agency’s costs.3) Othera) Permitted Tanks - The "Permitted Tanks" data set includes Facilities that are associated with permitted underground storage tanks from the California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) database. The CERS data consists of current and recently closed permitted underground storage tank (UST) facilities information provided to CERS by Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs).*Note: Underground Storage Tank Cleanup and Cleanup Program project records are pulled from the State Water Board's GeoTracker database. The Permitted Tanks information was obtained from California EPA’s California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) database. All other project records were obtained from DTSC's EnviroStor database. Program descriptions come from DTSC’s EnviroStor Glossary of Terms and the State Water Board’s GeoTracker Site/Facility Type Definitions. The information associated with these records was last updated in the application on 4/24/2023.

The SRF subsoil domain dataset is a broad-scale cartographic representation of the subsoil composition of Ireland with associated geochemical trigger values. The individual domains or units define areas of subsoil derived from similar bedrock sources. The domains thus comprise areas with broadly similar subsoil geochemistry. Data from the National Soils Database (NSDB) (EPA-Teagasc 2007) have been used to characterize each domain geochemically in order to set appropriate threshold or trigger levels for acceptance of waste soil and stone at licensed SRFs.The mapped boundaries are based on the Teagasc-EPA subsoils map, which comprises 67 distinct subsoil compositional classes that are described according to the geological or bedrock parent material of the subsoil. Some classes, such as “alluvium”, “peat”, “made ground” and “bedrock”, cannot be described with reference to a subsoil parent material. For these classes, the underlying bedrock has been employed in place of the absent parent material classification.The individual subsoil classifications were amalgamated to produce seven domains. Amalgamation of subsoil classes was based on similarity of parent material in terms of composition and age. The domain map was joined to the 1310 soil samples in the NSDB and each sample was classified by domain. For each domain, the geochemical trigger values for seven elements of interest (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) were calculated from the NSDB samples contained within that domain. Trigger values are defined as the 98th percentile value of the dataset for each domain.

To further this goal and support the building of new recycling infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), EPA developed a map displaying estimated generation of recyclable materials, estimated recycled quantities, existing recycling infrastructure, potential recycling end markets, and other MSW infrastructure such as landfills and transfer stations. The map can be used to identify infrastructure gaps, facilitate a needs analysis, and better understand where funding could be allocated to enhance markets.
This dataset provides estimated tons generated and recycled by U.S. ZIP code and material. It relies on materials management reports and surveys from various states and regions, State Measurement Program (SMP) data, the Ball Corporation's Fifty States of Recycling, EPA's EPA’s Excess Food Opportunities Map, and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey dataset. EPA estimated the quantities generated and recycled by ZIP code by dividing state reported generation and recycled quantities by the population for each state and for each material to arrive at state-specific per capita rates. Those per capita rates were then applied to the population of each ZIP code in each corresponding state. By clicking on the map, the user can see the estimated tons generated per capita and recycled per capita. Estimated recycling potential for each material is the difference between estimated tons generated and estimated tons recycled. The ZIP codes with the greatest difference in generated and recycled tons have higher estimated recycling potential.
The data were then integrated with a U.S. Census Bureau Tiger Database ZIP code shapefile to create the resulting data layer. The ZIP code shapefile was simplified to remove vertices. This dataset includes 16 recyclable material types: aluminum, cardboard, electronics, food waste, glass, HDPE bottles #2, PET bottles #1, PET other #1, PP (polypropylene) containers #5, rigid plastics #3 to #7, steel cans, tires, paper, textiles, yard trimmings, and wood. Note that there are certain materials for which data are not available for every state. In these cases, the layer will only display ZIP codes where data are available.
The map provides estimated U.S. recycling quantities, infrastructure, materials markets, and supporting market factors using the best available data at the time the map was developed (2021-2022). While data sources range from 2011 to 2021, most data are from 2018-2021. The map was created and by Industrial Economics, Inc. (IEc), a consultancy supporting EPA to develop the Recycling Infrastructure and Market Opportunities Map. The map is managed by EPA’s Office of Land and Emergency Management.
