8%RCon 2026: collaboration will be critical to recycling's next chapter. As the industry looks toward 2030, the future of recycling will depend on how well brands, municipalities, haulers, recyclers, end markets, and consumers work together to build a system that can move materials efficiently from the products people buy to the products made from recovered materials. September 30, 2026 Recycling doesn't start at the curb, and it doesn't end at the MRF. As the industry looks toward 2030, the future of recycling will depend on how well brands, municipalities, haulers, recyclers, end markets, and consumers work together to build a system that can move materials efficiently from the products people buy to the products made from recovered materials. That was a central theme during the opening panel at RCon 2026, where Jeff Bezzo, executive director of Plastics and Packaging Sustainability at SC Johnson, moderated a discussion with Jeff Fielkow, CEO of Circular Action Alliance (CAA); Mo McReynolds, director of the Office of Sustainability for the City of Indianapolis; and Ryan Nordt, executive director of Recycling Operations at WM. For Nordt, the future means thinking about recycling differently. "The waste stream becomes less of a waste stream and more of a material supply chain," Nordt said. WM has invested approximately $1.4 billion across 39 projects over the past five years, adding 2.8 million tons of recycling capacity and expanding access for residents, Nordt said. Those investments include a recycling facility in Indianapolis, which is preparing to launch a universal curbside recycling system in the first quarter of 2028. For McReynolds, the Indianapolis experience illustrates the importance of public-private partnerships. "Public-private partnerships couldn't be more important to us," McReynolds said. But building the infrastructure is only part of the challenge. Residents still need to understand how to use it. "They don't care about EPR. They don't care about the particular plastic makeup. They care about, 'does this go here?'" McReynolds said. That simplicity will become increasingly important as communities work to increase participation and reduce contamination. Fielkow said access and education are two of the biggest drivers of behavior change. CAA is taking a more data-driven approach to consumer education and outreach, he said, working with municipalities, haulers and producers to better understand how to change recycling behavior. The goal isn't simply to get more material into the recycling bin. It's to get the right material into the bin. "It's really important that we don't wish cycle," Fielkow said. Nordt pointed to batteries as one example of where consumer education can have an immediate impact. WM has invested in fire detection and prevention technology at its facilities, but Nordt said preventing batteries from entering the waste stream in the first place is even more important. That requires meeting consumers with a simple message. WM's "Recycle Right" approach focuses on basic guidance for bottles, cans, cups, tubs, paper and cardboard, while also emphasizing that batteries belong in neither the recycling nor trash stream. The same collaborative approach is helping expand recycling for materials such as polypropylene and paper cups. Nordt highlighted work involving WM, the Recycling Partnership, Starbucks and Closed Loop Partners that has expanded access to recycling for those materials. For brands, Bezzo said the collaboration needs to extend directly into recycling facilities. "Bring your packaging engineers and everybody involved in packaging to MRFs on a regular basis, just so you really understand what's happening there," Bezzo said. That firsthand experience can help connect decisions made at the product-design stage with what actually happens once packaging reaches a MRF. Ultimately, the panelists agreed that no single part of the recycling system can solve its challenges alone. Producers need to understand the system. Municipalities need effective partnerships. Recyclers need reliable end markets. And residents need clear, consistent information about what belongs in the bin. Fielkow said the industry is already seeing signs that the pieces are coming together. "Producers are showing up. They're engaged," he said. "The haulers, the recyclers, and the programs we work with, I was expecting and anticipating resistance, [but] they're leaning in." For an industry looking toward 2030, that collaboration may be one of its most important resources.

Walmart's Kathleen McLaughlin and SC Johnson's Fisk Johnson named Sustainable Leaders of the Year by Retail Council of Canada. Sep 15, 2026, 07:02 ET Kathleen McLaughlin and Fisk Johnson are the first recipients of RCC's Sustainable Leaders of the Year Award, presented at RCC's Retail Sustainability Excellence Awards on October 28. TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2026 /CNW/ - Retail Council of Canada (RCC) proudly announces Kathleen McLaughlin, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, Walmart Inc., and Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO, SC Johnson, as the first-ever recipients of the Sustainable Leaders of the Year Award. The award recognizes leaders who have advanced measurable environmental progress across the retail value chain, from supply chain transformation and product innovation to public health and environmental impact. McLaughlin and Johnson have each developed sustainability strategies that have influenced how their organizations operate and helped advance the broader conversation around sustainability in retail. Kathleen McLaughlin leads sustainability strategy for Walmart Inc. across jobs, sourcing, supply chain, and community resilience. Under her leadership, Walmart engaged more than 5,900 suppliers through Project Gigaton, an initiative to cut a gigaton of greenhouse gases from product value chains by 2030. Walmart hit that target in 2024, six years ahead of schedule. McLaughlin chairs the Walmart Foundation Board and spent more than a decade as its president, building philanthropic programs that scale alongside the business. She sits on the boards of the World Wildlife Fund and World Resources Institute. In 2026, the NRF Foundation named her to its List of People Shaping Retail's Future, and Sustainability Magazine ranked her first on its Top 250 Women in Sustainability list. Before Walmart, she spent more than 20 years at McKinsey & Company, where she led its Retail Practice. Fisk Johnson has served as Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson since 2004, after joining the company in 1987. Trained in science and business, Johnson pushes for practical paths forward on plastic waste reduction, renewable energy, carbon reduction, green chemistry, and ingredient transparency. He has advocated for stronger plastic regulation, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy to improve recycling infrastructure, and testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on EPR for consumer packaging in March 2024. He backs an ambitious global treaty to end plastic pollution, now under negotiation among more than 170 countries. Johnson and SC Johnson have won numerous awards for environmental leadership, including the Presidential Green Chemistry Award and the EPA's Lifetime Atmospheric Achievement Award. In 2023, the United Nations Foundation honoured him with its Leadership for a Better World Award. "This is the first time we have presented this award, and we set the bar high," said Kim Furlong, President & CEO of Retail Council of Canada. "Kathleen McLaughlin turned an ambitious climate commitment into measurable results across thousands of suppliers. Fisk Johnson has brought SC Johnson's work on plastic waste and chemical transparency into the policy arena. Both demonstrate the kind of leadership that can translate sustainability commitments into meaningful action and help move the retail industry forward. Retail Council of Canada is proud to recognize them as the inaugural Sustainable Leaders of the Year."

Kenya's foreign investment hits record Sh414.1bn, Ruto says. The President says the government is seeking to position the country as a regional production and services hub by PERPETUA ETYANG Kenya's foreign direct investment has risen to a record Sh414.1 billion ($3.2 billion), up from Ksh194.1 billion ($1.5 billion) in 2022, President William Ruto has said. The President said the government is seeking to position the country as a regional production and services hub. Speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Business Summit 2026 in Nairobi, Ruto said the increase was a vote of confidence in Kenya's renewable energy base, digital economy and manufacturing potential. "Kenya's foreign direct investment has risen from $1.5 billion in 2022 to a record $3.2 billion last year. This is a strong vote of confidence in our renewable energy base, digital economy and manufacturing potential," Ruto said. The President said Kenya was seeking investments that create jobs, build local value chains, transfer technology, expand exports and strengthen the country's position as a regional hub for production and services. He said Kenya offers investors access not only to its domestic market but also to wider African markets through regional and continental trade arrangements. "Kenya offers investors more than a national market. Through the East African Community, we are connected to a market of more than 300 million people; through COMESA, to a market of about 700 million; and through the African Continental Free Trade Area, to a continent-wide market of 1.4 billion people," he said. Ruto said Kenya's proposition to investors was to use the country as a platform from which to produce for Africa and the rest of the world. Ruto cited the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2026, which he said showed global foreign direct investment had reached Sh207 trillion ($1.6 trillion), while Africa attracted about Sh9.1 trillion ($70 billion), equivalent to 4.3 per cent of the global total. He said Africa needed to claim a larger share of global investment and that Kenya intended to lead that effort. Geographic Reference Ruto also announced that American companies had committed more than Sh77.6 billion ($600 million) to new projects in Kenya since the previous AmCham summit. Among the investments cited was Oracle's selection of Kenya as the site of its first public cloud region in Africa. Coca-Cola has committed Sh22.6 billion ($175 million), while Mars Wrigley inaugurated a Sh13.3 billion ($103 million) production line at Athi River. SC Johnson is also establishing a new manufacturing plant to serve Kenya and other African markets. Ruto further said Ford is exploring opportunities in Kenya, describing the development as a potential boost to the government's agenda of creating jobs and building local value. "We are pleased that Ford is exploring opportunities in Kenya. Henry Ford's proposition that those who build a product should be able to afford it speaks directly to our agenda of creating jobs, building local value and making quality products accessible," Ruto said. The President said the investments demonstrated that opportunities were already attracting capital, but maintained that Kenya could not afford to become complacent. "We know that investors compare jurisdictions, price risk and move quickly when conditions are right. Capital goes where there is opportunity, but it stays where there is confidence," he said.
