collect additional material to bolster our circularity
capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive
additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing
recycling and waste customers.Recycling and WasteWe continue to

platform for growth.The Republic Services Polymer Center is the
nation's first integrated plastics recycling facility. This

centers, producing recycled materials that promote true
bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint

growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network
of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North
