This forum will examine the current state of recycling markets; backed by data and economic theory, we'll learn why the future of recycling isn't as bleak as it at seems.
We will also dive into the The New Plastics Economy and legislative actions that can drive demand for recycled materials.
The day will culminate in an interactive group discussion.
Staff from Oregon DEQ will open the forum with an update about recent and upcoming activities from the Recycling Steering Committee.
