Following up on last year's must-attend event for recycling professionals, Resource Recycling, Inc. is excited to bring the 2012 Resource Recycling Conference to the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas, August 28-29.
The Resource Recycling Conference focuses on the latest issues, trends and analysis for collection program managers, MRF operators and downstream processors, equipment manufacturers, representatives of state, regional and national recycling organizations, and buyers, sellers and processors of a wide range of recyclable material, including paper, aluminum, plastic, glass, steel, C&D material, organic waste and much more.
The conference also features an exhibit hall and tradeshow where attendees can meet with existing or potential partners and network with the leading firms and organizations in the recycling industry.
"This is a crowd that knows what it wants and asks detailed, intelligent questions," said one RR Conference exhibitor. "Not only did we get a lot of traffic at our booth, people wanted to talk to us and learn about what we had to offer. It's different than other shows I've been to."
