TERRA to host electronics recycling conference

The Electronics Reuse & Recycling Alliance (TERRA), Nashville, Tennessee, will host the inaugural TERRA Conference in Nashville in Spring 2025.

The conference will focus on creating an environment for attendees, exhibitors and sponsors that promotes business development and the creation of partnerships. It will feature an industry awards program to honor the individuals and organizations in the used electronics marketplace.

Since TERRA’s creation in April 2019, the alliance has grown to more than 110 facilities in 11 countries.

“For the last five years, TERRA has been earning the trust of the certified electronics reuse and recycling marketplace,” TERRA President and CEO Steven Napoli says. “Today, we are honored that so many industry leaders have encouraged us to take this next step to create a new conference that both recognizes the positive impact made by the industry as well as accelerates the building of new business opportunities and relationships.”

Joe Clayton, vice president of business development with Arcoa Group, Waukegan, Illinois, will serve as chairman of the conference’s planning committee.

“I have seen the evolution of our industry since long before we came together to create a certification regime many years ago,” Clayton says. “Now, more than ever, it is vital for all of us to help guide our industry to meet the challenges of the future. Getting involved with TERRA’s inaugural conference is an essential part of that effort.”

More details regarding participation in the 2025 TERRA Conference will be released in the coming weeks. Anyone interested in getting involved with the planning of the conference may contact Napoli, Calyton or visit the conference website to register.
