You won’t want to miss the opportunity to join us at the Wyndham Hotel on the fabulous River Walk in San Antonio at the NRC Market Development Workshop in conjunction with STAR’s 30th anniversary. As we all are experiencing, the importance of robust recycling markets cannot be understated. The demand for material is a driver of programs and volume security brings manufacturers to the table. At the event on October 7, leading national experts will build understanding about the nuts and bolts of the process, share success stories, data measurement and financing opportunities, and identify the alliances that will be necessary to close the loop on domestic recycled material markets. Be a part of the movement to secure demand for recycled material right here at home!
