As this issue of the magazine goes to the printers, many of us here in the office are preparing to go to New Orleans for the fifth annual Resource Recycling Conference, where hundreds of recycling professionals will gather to discuss and further the business of our industry. The show will feature views of the industry from the proverbial 50,000 feet - with Bill McDonough offering details of the Waste Management McDonough Sustainable Innovation Collaborative and Walmart's Rob Kaplan giving attendees a look at the retail giant's leadership role in recycling. In addition to that view from above, the conference will study aspects of recycling under the microscope, looking at the state of Vermont's approach to boosting recovery through carefully crafted legislation as well as investigating the development of environmentally preferred purchasing best practices.
