Speakers who have used hedging and other financial tools to buy and sell recovered fiber will provide attendees with their insight into what will work and what won’t. Steve Voorhees, Chief Financial Officer for Rock-Tenn. is one of several experts who will talk about using financial tools to successfully trade recovered fiber.
