Okay, procrastinators: Your time is up.
To be considered for $20,000 in funding and valuable exposure to industry decision-makers, proposals for the 2014 Recycling Innovators Forum must be sent in by the end of today. The submission process involves putting together just a short description of the idea or technology you think can change the nation's materials recovery infrastructure. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
The second annual Recycling Innovators Forum is sponsored by Alcoa, the American Chemistry Council, Coca-Cola Recycling, Resource Recycling (the parent company of this publication) and Waste Management. The competition will be held on Sept. 15 at the annual Resource Recycling Conference in New Orleans, and will award two $20,000 prizes: one to the top idea submitted by an individual or small group of entrepreneurs, and another to the top proposal from an established company or organization.
