thorny issues surrounding the current quality of recyclable materials), focusing on product stewardship, and debating Extended Producer Responsibility. We're going to talk about my discussions with the US EPA's leadership and leaders from a number of state
agencies about how we can better support them and their efforts to push forward with sustainable materials management (SMM). We're going to highlight our work on recycling jobs, and the value we add to regional economic development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

game-changing strategies intended to overcome current barriers to increasing the recovery of a variety of materials. We're going to develop a structure to better inform sustainable disaster debris management dialogue, and clarify the role we can play to support
organizations and projects at the higher-end of the SMM scale, namely reuse and organics composting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The ROC has just completed a comprehensive strategic plan and will present its findings. Join in to hear how the ROC plans to help each RO reach its next level of effectiveness. I applaud the ROC and its leaders for its excellent work to raise the bar in this

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#4F604F">Join with me and your colleagues at our annual meeting on Monday as I give our "State of the NRC" report, where I'll outline my view of some strategic issues
just on the horizon, including the need for more focus on our supply/value-chain (asset management), opportunities for an "Americas" (Western Hemisphere) approach to development of recycling infrastructure, and how essential it is for us all to have a serious
and transparent discussion about recycling as it currently lives (building off recent reflections by the Cato Institute, and the work of Samantha MacBride and others, while also recognizing the paradigm shift EPR represents).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#4F604F">And, of course, while its incumbent on the NRC and it leaders to be contemplating and taking action on the important issues facing our industry - including those
above - we would be remiss if we avoided realities about the state of the organization and its ability to meet the needs embodied by all the issues above (and more). To that end, we'll have some very pointed discussions about organizational obligations - gaps
that need to be filled in order for the NRC to help accelerate the sustainable management of discards and materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#4F604F">We can look back more than three to four decades (depending on your view of "modern" recycling's history) and see a series of accomplishments relating to what
we in the present consider the broad concept of "recycling." Many of you were instrumental with these successes. Nevertheless, again, my main message is that we can not - must not! - be satisfied with where we are.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#4F604F">Our work has only just begun as it relates to paving the way toward creating a different lens (system) to view discards, materials, packaging, and all the rest.
A cliche? Yes. Have you heard this premise before? Yes. So, what do we do differently this time that will lead us to systemic change? Will I see you in Louisville, where your voice is so very important to help answer this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is time once again to nominate individuals to serve on the NRC Board of Directors. The Nominations Deadline is 5:00 pm Eastern Time on Monday, August 19, 2013. While the NRC is extremely pleased with the progress it has made since its "rebirth" three years
ago, the organization is even more excited about what it can achieve in the coming year. But the NRC needs you to make it all happen.

It will also discuss how a turned windrow system is converted to an aerated static pile system to improve operating efficiencies, reduce off-site impacts from odors and dramatically increase processing capacity. In addition, this webinar provides an excellent
opportunity to better understand ASP Composting as an emerging technology to decrease emissions of volatile organic compounds, ammonia and greenhouse gases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
