What Recycling Product News does

Recycling Product News is a B2B trade media publication covering the North American solid waste and recycling industry, operated by Baum Publications Ltd. from its headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in 1992 and now at Volume 34 (as of 2026), the publication delivers industry news, equipment and product introductions, policy updates, company profiles, and feature articles across 14 topic categories including metals, plastics, paper, C&D, electronics, organics, batteries, textiles, glass, hauling and collection, and circular economy. Its core audience consists of recycling industry professionals, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, and government and municipal stakeholders seeking market intelligence, supplier discovery, and regulatory updates.

The company's product surface is built on a web-based digital publishing platform that distributes content through four primary channels: the recyclingproductnews.com website, a weekly email newsletter, 13 topic-specific RSS feeds, and a bi-monthly digital magazine hosted on the third-party Issuu platform. It also operates a company directory of 2,075+ recycling-industry suppliers categorized by company type (manufacturer, distributor, contractor, recycling processor, government, etc.). The technology stack is conventional CMS-style web publishing with standard RSS and email delivery, with no proprietary platform features, APIs, or integrations disclosed.

The business model is a hybrid of free content monetization and B2B advertising. The newsletter is offered at no cost, while the magazine is available via paid subscription in digital or paper format. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B advertising, sponsored content placements (e.g., vendor partner features), and product/equipment listings targeting equipment manufacturers and suppliers that want reach into the recycling professional audience. No external investors, public shareholders, or private equity backing have been disclosed; Baum Publications Ltd. is privately held and also publishes related trade media such as Heavy Equipment Guide, indicating a portfolio approach to B2B industrial publishing.
