When economies are thriving, people buy <br />more, which increases the demand for recyclables that are used to produce new products. Also, when <br />fuel prices are high there is a greater demand for recyclable petroleum-based products such as plastic <br />bottles. Such economic factors and the overall strength of the global economy drive demand for <br />recyclable material, the growth of single stream recycling infrastructure, and the expansion of collection <br />programs at the local level. While a global market has supported recycling growth, it also means that <br />market conditions – both positive and negative – are a reality that we must constantly manage in <br />collaboration with our customers. <br />Waste Management Material Marketing – A Team that Supports Global and Local <br />Marketplaces <br />As recycling programs and the ease of single stream recycling has been rapidly adopted throughout <br />North America, the growth in recycling tonnage collected and processed has increased our supply of <br />clean recyclables and has supported growth of a global commodity market. Today, Waste Management <br />exports a third of the paper we collect to four continents. <br />Since 2012, Waste Management has been able to sustain recycling programs through a persistent <br />decline in commodity markets. We have relied heavily on the experience, relationships, and proactive <br />efforts of our material marketing team. Our team consists of approximately 150 employees in the United <br />States and Canada and nearly 25 team members stationed overseas. Their expertise in securing homes <br />for our customers’ materials, even during difficult economic times, has proven to be invaluable for the <br />success of America’s recycling programs. <br />Waste Management’s material marketing team supports each major International export market including <br />China, Latin America, South America, and India. In addition to marketing to international customers, we <br />seek opportunities to provide quality feedstocks to support local projects and markets and we are <br />committed to developing local markets where it benefits the community and our customers. We target <br />new markets based on global growth trends (GDP), new regulations, and the path of manufacturing. Both <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 3C46D4D9-4262-4835-B314-9FEB472CCC00
