2005 Annual Fall Forum Wrap-up:
Association of
Oregon Recycler’s
Annual Fall Forum
Plastics
Recycling in Oregon
Held October 3rd, 2007 - Lane Community
College, Eugene
AOR’s Fall Forum 2007, was
sponsored by the
American Chemistry
Council (ACC), and in conjunction with the
Association of
Postconsumer Plastics Recyclers (APR). The program
content was organized by Moore Recycling Associates.
We all want to recycle more plastic,
but which plastics can truly be recycled? We try to buy
recycled, but what do our recycled plastics really become?
Curbside and depot programs throughout the state are expanding
their list of recyclable plastic containers.
This event was held on
October 3rd, 2007 at Lane Community College’s Center for
Meeting and Learning in Eugene, Oregon, This beautiful facility provided a comfortable, ecologically mindful experience.
