Join MassRecycle for its 2012 Recycling & Organics Conference & Trade Show on Tuesday, March 27th, at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Boxborough, MA. The conference will gather over 400 industry professionals, policy makers and citizens to RE-THINK WASTE for a Sustainable Massachusetts. Our goal is to move the conversation forward and find new ways to increase recycling, reuse and waste reduction in the Commonwealth.

The plenary session will feature Commissioner Ken Kimmell, MassDEP; Lynn Rubinstein, NERC Executive Director; Phil Goddard, Town of Bourne - ISWM; and Dan Moon, Environmental Business Council. Session to be moderated by Meg Morris, COVANTA Energy.

The Conference will also feature 18 workshops covering topics in six tracks - Strategy and Policy, Organics, Municipal, Managing Packaging and Printed Materials, K-12 Projects, and SWANA Solid Waste Issues. Workshops include presentations by local and national experts with topics ranging from creating infrastructure in preparation for the 2014 organics waste ban to getting ready for the e-waste bill and sorting through different types of electronics recycler certifications to where the rigid plastic containers go.

The Conference & Trade Show will be preceded by a Compost Marketing Workshop on Monday, March 26th, and followed by a series of recycling and organics facilities tours on Wednesday, March 28th.

Exhibition opportunities still available. Please consider raising the presence of your company or organization by sponsoring the conference. Download the sponsor and exhibitor prospectus and sign up no later than February 13th.
