The Mexican beach resort of Ixtapa in the state of Zihuatanejo will serve as the venue for the 16th International Mexican Recycling Congress and Expo. The event will be held Nov. 20-21 at the Hotel Barceló Beach in Ixtapa.
The meeting, hosted by INARE (Instituto Nacional de Recicladores), is an annual national and international event for the secondary commodities industry in Mexico. Evening and social events will provide networking opportunities to meet new industry professionals and make business connections.
According to long-time INARE board member and Congress organizer Carlos Rovelo, the 2007 conference held in Acapulco attracted more than 600 attendees.
This year’s show will include sessions on recycling markets, transportation costs and the global outlook. “The variety of participants has kept the conference focused not only on today’s issues but also on tomorrow’s,” says Rovelo.
Networking opportunities, a tutorial, and exhibits of products, services and technologies also are planned. Several nations will be represented at the Recycling Congress, including the United States, Egypt, Canada, Spain, Germany, Puerto Rico and Central and South American nations.
Rovelo says that importers/exporters of secondary materials, brokers, transportation service providers, collectors, processors and equipment manufacturers can all benefit from attending the event.
INARE’s membership is comprised of collectors, processors, end users and importers and exporters of secondary commodities.
