Axios Des Moines: Iowa is the 10th-best state for recycling, according to a new report funded by the Ball Corp. But there still is a long way to go: All but six states have recycling rates below 50%. Iowa has a 44% recycling rate for common containers and packaging materials, excluding cardboard and boxboard. About 25% of U.S. waste is recycled, the study shows.
