2 | Plastics Recycling 2013: The bird's eye view of the industry


Well-connected editors of trade periodicals have their fingers on the pulse of key trends affecting their industry today as well as what the future might hold. Who, then, knows more about the plastics recycling industry than editors of plastics recycling magazines? Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear what Steven Pacitti (Plastics in Packaging), Tony Deligio (Plastics Today), Matthew Naitove (Plastics Technology) and Don Loepp (Plastics News) have to say about a variety of integral issues facing the plastics recycling industry. From bioresins to legislative issues, product design to recycling technologies and economics to collections, these experts will share critical information that you can't afford to miss.

Get your facts straight from the source at the 2013 Plastics Recycling Conference, which will be held March 19-20 in New Orleans. For more information, visit www.plasticsrecycling.com.

And after the conference, stick around for the Global Plastics Environmental Conference's (GPEC) "The Latest Need to Know: From Recycling to Sustainability of Plastics." GPEC's conference will be held right after the Plastics Recycling Conference, March 20-22 at the same great location, the Sheraton New Orleans, right next to the Crescent City's famed French Quarter. Don't miss out on these two terrific events.
