The Bureau of International Recycling (BIR), Brussels, has announced the creation of a special committee for companies exhibiting at BIR conventions.

Rolf Gren, chairman of BIR's Exhibitor's Committee

The Exhibitors Committee will serve BIR members who plan to exhibit products and services at BIR events, the BIR reports. The move is intended to facilitate more input from exhibiting companies with regard to the choice of exhibition space at future BIR convention venues, the organization says.

Rolf Gren of Pallmann Group has been appointed chairman of the committee and will be in direct contact with the BIR Convention Committee, where he will also hold a representative seat, the organization says.

Gren has held senior positions in the Swedish Electrolux Group and for the last eight years has worked in the recycling industry. Currently, he is serving as senior executive vice president for the Pallmann Group as well as general manager of Pallmann Industries based in Clifton, New Jersey. Gren is also involved in the group’s China business as president of Pallmann Co. in Beijing.
