A recycling conference organized by SPI in April will feature an extensive program divided into seven tracks, all aimed at helping brand owners and processors reach their environmental goals. The event, named Re|focus Recycling Summit & Expo, will take place April 25-27 at the Rosen Shingle Creek conference center and hotel in Orlando, Fla.
The concurrent conference tracks will cover cutting-edge recycling technologies, product engineering and design, supply chain management, manufacturing with recycled content, regulatory and compliance issues, industry-specific topics on recycling to recovery and use of recycled content, sustainability challenges and solutions and global manufacturing trends in recycled content. Off-site plant tours are also planned.
SPI expects the first Re|focus event to attract 1,300 attendees and more than 100 exhibiting companies.
The event starts April 25 with an opening reception. Kelley Semrau, senior VP for global corporate communications and sustainability at S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., is the keynote speaker on April 26. Complete event details and registration are available at www.refocussummit.org.
