Michael Alexander

At Recycle Away, Michael designs the most attractive and functional containers in the industry. Like the paparazzi, he is often chased down by corporate sustainability directors, facility managers and interior designers. He is the rock star of recycling. Michael is available for private consultations in recycling supply chain logistics, and zero waste initiatives.

Michael brings over 20 years of experience in sustainability, recycling and business development to our company. Michael has delivered consulting services to corporations, NGOs and governments across North America to improve their recycling and environmental systems. He has helped these clients quantify reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy use, and frame these achievements into annual sustainability reports. Prior to launching Recycle Away, Michael served as Director of Policy and Research for the National Recycling Coalition for seven years, and Program Manager for the Northeast Recycling Council for nine years. In 1989, Michael began his career in the environmental field as an analyst with the New York State Office of Recycling Market Development, the first agency in the U.S. dedicated to creating markets for recyclables. Throughout his career, Michael has built a diverse national network of colleagues on the front lines of the corporate and government sustainability movement.
