Relevant to the chemicals and materials value chain, BMA is a key public-sector stakeholder in waste management and circular economy policy, including programs for source separation, plastic waste reduction, and PET collection and recycling. The administration works with schools, communities, and private-sector partners to improve recycling rates, reduce landfill use, and channel post-consumer plastics into formal recycling streams. Through regulation, public programs, and outreach, BMA shapes the city’s handling of packaging, plastics, and other waste, influencing demand for recycling services and the supply of secondary raw materials.
