Subject: NRC/STAR regional recycling market development workshop in October 7th in San Antonio, TX

The NRC is conducting one of its regional recycling market development workshops in cooperation with the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling on October 7th at the Wyndam hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX. The STAR recycling summit will take place on October 8th & 9th following the workshop. Here is a brief description of the workshop:

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!

The NRC and its partners, RRS, Circular matters and the USEPA, have hosted a series of regional workshops in 2018-2019 focused on local and regional recycling market development. Presentations and conversations helped participants within the targeted regions to reimagine and reanimate their efforts to attract and develop new opportunities for recycled commodities.  In 2019, the NRC hosted workshops in Albuquerque, NM on June 11 and New Orleans, LA on Aug 26, is currently hosting San Antonio, TX on Oct 7 with STAR along with plans for Chula Vista, CA with CRRA on Nov 13.

The workshop series take a regional approach to facilitating the discussion about market development. We would appreciate it if OKRA could promote the workshop to its membership. Please let me know if you have any questions about the workshop.
