This post is related to STARS, AASHE's Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System.
Traditional recycling rates have become very flawed (especially in how they are applied). And yes, I am also concerned about how they are currently applied in both STARS and RecycleMania.
For anyone that did not see it when it first posted in December, please check out my week-long blog series Five Days of Fixing Recycling Rates.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for the post. This is an excellent time to submit ideas for improving STARS 2.0. I am curious about how STARS could better capture recycling rates. Do you have a specific methodology in mind?
Thanks again!
Chris
