6 | Resource Recycling Conference 2015: Grasping the global industry


The upcoming Resource Recycling Conference will start with a fascinating look at how the interconnected pieces of materials recovery come together in a keynote address from Adam Minter, award-winning Bloomberg journalist and author of the book "Junkyard Planet."


Minter comes from a family of Midwest scrap yard owners and now lives in Southeast Asia, where he covers the evolving waste management sphere there and elsewhere across the world. His understanding of the specific conditions surrounding recycling in the U.S., as well as in the multitude of markets where materials end up, puts him in a unique position to offer a truly objective and holistic view of the industry. His talk will enlighten all recycling pros on current global realities and how specific impacts are felt all the way back to curbside.


Resource Recycling Conference 2015 is scheduled for Sept. 28-30, 2015 at the Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis, Indiana. Head to rrconference.com for more information on attending, sponsoring and exhibiting.
