The Advantage in the Waste Industry
Market Development
The Market Development Committee of APR is the focal point for association activities designed to increase public awareness of plastics recycling and the plastic reclamation and processing industry, and to create more opportunities to recycle plastics. The committee strives to expand the recycling of plastic material by working with state and local solid waste management officials on methods to enhance their collection programs in order to increase the amount of material collected by those programs and add value to the bottom line. This is achieved via: Regional workshops Seminars Webinars In addition, the committee works to educate legislators and other key audiences on how to get more from their plastic recycling programs, develops programs that demonstrate how to include plastic bottles in collection streams and demonstrates how recycling markets treat those collected materials. The committee strives to ensure that the general public understands how plastics can be recycled, and to encourage their participation in collection programs. The Market Development Committee works to get the word out about plastics recycling by speaking and exhibiting at trade shows and conferences, implementing award programs designed to highlight and promote packaging and material changes, which enhance plastics recycling and enlisting sponsors for the annual Resource Recycling Plastics Recycling Conference. In addition, the committee strives to be a source of information to the general public. The committee meets during the regularly scheduled APR member meetings, as well as by conference calls periodically throughout the year. | WA For more information, call (202) 316-3046 or visit www.plasticsrecycling.org to find out how you can work with APR to ensure the continued growth and development of the plastics recycling infrastructure to meet the demand for recycled material.
