Strengthening the Industry That Supports Industry.
Reforge Alliance is the non-profit coalition for the industrial recycling sector — funding the research, standards, workforce, and policy work that individual operators can't do alone.
We don't just process material, we're reclaiming a future.
Our work focuses on the four pressures that hold the industrial recycling sector back: knowledge gaps, inconsistent standards, workforce shortages, and policy that lags behind the technology.
Advocacy
Policy briefings and coalition representation in state, federal, and international rule-making.
Standards
Industry-developed specifications for material quality, traceability, and reporting.
Workforce
Credentialing programs and apprenticeships that build the next generation of operators.
Advocacy
Open-access studies on recovery yields, contamination, and emerging waste streams.
SECTOR COVERAGE
Many material streams. One united industry voice.
Our member operators recover material across every major industrial stream. We translate their on-the-ground experience into standards, data, and policy positions the whole sector can build on.

A stronger industry needs stronger infrastructure.
