Session Spotlight: Rebuilding Confidence in Recycling
|
Between the ongoing problems with contamination, turmoil in the commodity markets and cutbacks to local collection programs, recycling has gone through a rough patch in recent years. Survey data published earlier this year suggests these challenges and the resulting media attention are causing many to question why they should bother to sort their waste. Addressing this erosion of trust in the recycling system is crucial to making progress on contamination, not to mention increasing participation rates.

Why register a Large Group? Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania (PROP) joined as a Large Group because: "The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania Board of Directors felt our members would benefit from the variety of topics offered at the NRC Congress. We chose to give our members the benefit of registering at no cost to them through a Large Organization Sponsorship. As a bonus for PROP members who hold the Certified Recycling Professional status, our certification committee reviewed the content and is giving CEU’s toward maintaining that certification. We are looking forward to attending!”

2022 National Recycling Coalition Scholarships: Supporting Students, Honoring a Legacy
The Murray J. Fox Scholarship Fund was created in 1994 to honor one of the founding members of the National Recycling Coalition, the country’s oldest recycling advocacy organization. The endowment allows the organization to continue Fox’s legacy of fostering future leaders, and more than $140,000 has been awarded to dozens of students to date. A tribute to Fox is posted at the NRC Campus Council's web page.

The NRC prioritizes students with academic interest and experience advancing social and environmental justice aspects of the recycling industry. Examples include COVID safety for custodians, climate action, methods to promote inclusion and diversity within the recycling industry. Application information for 2023 scholarships are to be announced in November.
