Time to send in your Recycling Innovators Forum abstracts

With less than three weeks to go until 3-4 page abstracts of proposals are due, the response to the first-annual Recycling Innovators Forum has been outstanding. Forum organizers have already begun to receive submissions, with many more in the works for the Jan. 7 deadline.

The Recycling Innovators Forum is designed to seek out new ideas to move recycling forward. Forum organizers have identified a dozen topics innovators can focus their efforts on, covering everything from recycling markets, to engineering improvements, to innovative collection ideas, and more. The top 7-10 proposals will be asked to participate in the forum and competition for a chance to win a $20,000 grand prize and the opportunity to pitch their idea to investors.

Backed by Alcoa, The American Chemistry Council's Plastics Division, Coca-Cola Recycling, eCullet, Resource Recycling, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc., the Recycling Innovators Forum will be held August 26 in Louisville, Kentucky.

The 3-4 page abstracts of proposals are due Jan. 7. For more information, including official rules and guidelines, visit recyclinginnovators.com, or click the banner below.
