Is extended producer responsibility a sustainable solution in financing municipal recycling systems?
Resource Recycling Conference attendees at the opening plenary will get the latest information on new EPR initiatives, with speakers from the U.S. EPA, Nestlé Waters North America, and the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

The Resource Recycling Conference will be held August 17-18 at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis. For more information visit www.rrconference.com or click on the banner below.
