Conference Sessions

From the optionality for polypropylene (PP) to be recycled by creating circular solutions for curbside and beyond to innovative solutions for changing consumer recycling behavior through partnership marketing, recycling initiatives continue to create solutions toward achieving a circular economy.

Join us to hear insight and information on elevating recycling via addressing packaging, organics composting, and infrastructure funding toward a circular economy.

Hear how technology, innovation, and investment are poised to elevate the industry. From applying Artificial Intelligence to modernize and expand our recycling infrastructure to how Mini-MRFs, Roadie and loan funding mechanisms for small volume municipalities, haulers and authorities will work to close the gap on recycling access throughout the U.S.

Increasing recycling through innovative and collaborative partnerships is key for successful programs; hear about these efforts to boost recovery of glass, food packaging and scrap tires.

Join local community recycling managers for an interactive session to learn, network, and share resources. Discussions will include an overview of efforts including the Municipal Measurement Program, Recycling Waste Reduction and Diversion Grants, Read for Recycling for America Recycles Day, Earth Day, and International Compost Awareness Week 2023.

Session includes a special make and take presented by Abigail West with Athens-Clarke County Recycling.  Abigail will teach attendees how to make lanterns from hard-to-recycle materials.

Don’t miss our closing session on Wednesday morning September 28th. We are honored to have two established pros who have influenced the recycling industry for decades. Their acute insight, perspectives, and wisdom will be just the reality and motivation we all need, all with a good dose of humor!
