NRA to promote composting at national conference - NRA News Blog

The U.S. Composting Council will hold its 21st annual conference and trade show Jan. 27-31, 2013 in Orlando, Fla.

Titled "The Magic of Compost", the conference will kick off Jan. 27 with the USCC's first golf outing and benefit at Hawk's Landing Golf Club at the Orlando World Center Marriott.

Breakout sessions and discussions will focus on such topics as composting growth from a national and regional perspective, municipal planning and composting, compostable packaging, and legislative updates on new rules and ban repeals.

Scott DeFife, the National Restaurant Association's executive vice president of policy and government affairs, will participate in the conference's "Panel of Industry Leaders: Opportunities and Barriers to Compost Industry Growth", and Jeff Clark, a sustainability consultant for the NRA's Conserve program, will discuss outcomes from a recent research project conducted in partnership with Duke University that studied barriers to restaurant industry's adoption of composting efforts.

In September, the NRA and the USCC announced their intent to partner on increasing composting education and activities nationwide. Under the terms of the agreement, the organizations will share educational resources and seek to identify collaborative opportunities that benefit their constituencies and the general public by promoting awareness of the important role composting plays in waste reduction and improved soil and water quality.
