Since joining CMC in 2005, Libby Allen has helped to develop, implement and manage pilot projects focused on region-wide public-private partnerships. Her effort is currently focused full-time on project and account management for the Chicago Waste to Profit Network, which combines the efforts of CMC, the City of Chicago Department of the Environment, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Recycling and Energy Modernization Program, and Region V of the US EPA.
