California Resource Recovery Association issues call for papers

The California Resource Recovery Association (CRRA) has announced its 42nd annual conference will be July 26-29, 2018. It also has issued a call for papers related to speakers and sessions. The CRRA’s Annual Conference and Tradeshow is set to be held at the Oakland Marriott City Center in Oakland, California.

The association is currently accepting submissions in two formats: individual speakers or complete sessions. This call for papers, the CRRA says, is an invitation to participate in and contribute to CRRA’s 2018 event. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 15, 2018.

The CRRA says abstracts are welcome for an array of zero waste topics, including but not limited to: 

• addressing climate change;
• California mandates;
• illegal dumping, stormwater and marine debris;
• looking beyond California for inspiration;
• response to China’s National Sword; and
• starving landfills to feed communities.

For 42 years the CRRA says its annual conference has been “among the most comprehensive and dynamic events dedicated to sustainable materials management.”

The CRRA was founded in 1974 with a mission to provide its members with resources to advance local, regional and statewide waste reduction efforts that result in critical environmental and climate protection outcomes.
