Presentations from the recently concluded Paper Recycling Conference and Exposition are now available.
If you are looking for what was said, or were unable to attend but would like to find out the topics that were discussed you can access the presentations from the various speakers.
For those speakers who did not have Power Point Presentations, we have provided news coverage on their session.
Experts from the recycling, mill, consulting, financial and legislative sectors provided an in-depth analysis of the trends taking place in the paper recycling industry.
While North American vendors forecast modest improvements, experts from outside North America, especially from Asia and Latin America, are more bullish about the market for recovered fiber over the next several years.
On the financial side, several financial sources discussed the opportunities available for bringing in stability to the volatile pricing side.
The following are either the Power Point presentations that the various speakers gave, or news articles about the presentations themselves.
Next year’s Paper Recycling Conference & Exposition will be held in Chicago, June 22-24. For more information on the conference contact James Keefe at jkeefe@recyclingtoday.com, or Jeff Fenner at jfenner@gie.net.
