GA Recycling Group Holding Second Industry Day

Meeting will include tour of Caraustar plant.

 

The Georgia Recycling Coalition’s Paper Council will be holding its second Paper Recycling Industry Day Oct. 21 at Caraustar Mill Group’s Austell, GA facility. 

 

The Paper Council, Georgia’s Paper Recycling People, is comprised of GRC paper industry members, including all the major mills.

 

The goal of these events is to increase decision maker’s awareness of the industry’s impact

in Georgia, and to promote increased recovery efforts toward sustaining  mill demands; the events are held in partnership with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). 

 

Invited attendees include local and state elected officials, county/city staff, Keep America Beautiful directors, recycling program managers, and state and national trade and government associations.

 

The program will include Georgia market information and the impact the industry has in our state presented by Bill Moore, Moore & Associates; a national perspective presented by representatives of the America Forest & Paper Association; and the results of the State Solid Waste Characterization Study presented by Randy Hartmann of DCA. 

 

The presentation will be followed by a mill tour.

 

The first Paper Recycling Industry Day was held earlier this year at SP Recycling’s Dublin, GA mill. A third day is scheduled to be held this coming spring at Pratt Industries’ Conyers, GA mill.   For more information, contact GRC at (404) 634-3095 or garecycles@mindspring.com.
