The Brattleboro, Vermont-based Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) has announced it has been recognized as an advisory member of the Glass Recycling Coalition (GRC).
GRC says it brings together stakeholders in the supply chain—glass manufacturers, haulers, processors, material recovery facilities (MRFs), capital markets, end markets and brands that use glass—to showcase their products to make glass recycling work.
NERC says it anticipates its involvement with GRC will help to inform and share its work with NERC’s new Glass Subcommittee. NERC’s Glass Subcommittee will be tasked with defining the primary glass recycling issues in the Northeast and identifying potential solutions.
“There is a lot of interest in supporting glass recycling in the Northeast. This sentiment was clearly expressed during NERC’s Glass Forum held in the Fall of 2015,” says NERC. “As a way to further the discussions and to possibly define a role that NERC might be able to play in promoting greater diversion of glass containers to the greatest value end uses, NERC has convened a Glass Subcommittee. The committee will be tasked with defining the primary issues in the region and identifying potential solutions."
Members of NERC’s Glass Subcommittee include:
- Brenda Pulley, Keep America Beautiful;
- Brooke Nash, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection;
- Cathy Jamieson, Vermont Agency of Natural Resources;
- Chaz Miller, NERC board member;
- Chris Nelson, Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection;
- Curt Bucey, Strategic Materials;
- Doug Smith, Sony;
- Kayla Montanya, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation;
- Megan Pryor, Maine Department of Environmental Protection;
- Michael Foote, City of Reading, Pennsylvania;
- Natalie Starr, DSM Environmental Services;
- Ted Siegler, DSM Environmental Services ;
- Peter Schirk, BHS-Sonthofen;
- Ray Dube, Coca Cola Bottling of New England;
- Sarah Reeves, Chittenden Solid Waste District, Vermont; and
- Steve Changaris, National Waste & Recycling Association.
