In Michigan, communities have a big shift to transition from solid waste management planning to materials management planning (MMP). This changes how communities think about and plan for materials and waste, allowing communities to recover valuable resources and stimulate the economy.
MMP brings a lot of change for counties and local communities, and RRS can help you get your local officials and decision-makers familiar with the responsibilities and opportunities of the MMP process. Our team has created a slide deck covering the fundamentals officials need to know. You can even customize a few slides to your community’s context.

RRS is based in Michigan and many of our team members call the mitten state home. We want to see every county succeed in its efforts to boost the economy and conserve resources. This deck is built on decades of RRS expertise in this industry.
What Your Officials Need to Know
The slide deck includes:
- Background: Explore recycling and waste data as well as the economic impact of materials management
- MMP Requirements and Timeline: Learn about the new requirements of the MMP, state funding, benchmark recycling standards, and timeline.
We know that Materials Management Planning is complex and presents a lot of new information for local officials. RRS is here to help every step of the way, including assisting in getting your officials on board for the ride!
Understanding Materials Management Planning (MMP)
Now is the time to seize the moment. Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has initiated the call for every county in Michigan to begin the process to create materials management plans. Participating counties will receive State funding to support planning and the implementation of public initiatives aiming to reduce waste, compost materials, and recycle or reuse products.
