The Recycling Partnership (The Partnership) announced that Greg Saxon has been named its next chief executive officer, effective July 20, 2026. Saxon succeeds founder and chief executive officer Keefe Harrison, following a planned leadership transition announced this spring.
The appointment comes during a period of evolution for the U.S. residential recycling system, as one in five Americans now live in states with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for paper and packaging. The transition follows a rigorous national search led by The Partnership’s Board of directors to identify an executive capable of navigating this complex regulatory shift while scaling investments and infrastructure improvements across the U.S. recycling system.
Saxon brings more than 20 years of leadership experience, with a strong systems perspective built from experience across electronics recycling, packaging, procurement, supply chain, operations and circular materials systems. His background reflects the complexity of the recycling system and the breadth of partners needed to strengthen it.
