2016 MRN/SWANA-MA Conference Recap

Tuesday & Wednesday, June 21-22, 2016

 

2016 Conference logo

Over 170 solid waste management and recycling professionals convened onTuesday & Wednesday, June 21-22 at the Turf Valley Conference Center in Ellicott City, MD to learn about and discuss the hottest topics in the industry including changing waste management and recycling models, policy & regulation, commodities markets, new technologies & more.

While all shared a common desire to minimize waste to landfill, opinions sometimes differed sharply on how to get there. Spirited discussions arose around the efficacy of mixed waste processing facilities, the validity of “Glass is Trash” and regulatory vs. free market solutions to organics processing.


Two dozen exhibitors also displayed a wide variety of products and services from software to hardware, equipment to consulting and everything in between. Together with the numerous networking opportunities, conference attendees walked away with several bins of new tools and ideas they can
put to work.


MRN also celebrated the accomplishments of four 2016 Recycling Award Winners
