Representatives of The Consumer Aerosol Products Council (CAPCO) recently exhibited at the 2014 National Resource Recycling Conference in New Orleans, LA. It was the second time that CAPCO attended the event that brings together professionals throughout the recycling industry, including material recovery facility (MRF) operators, waste haulers, equipment suppliers and recycling coordinators for local municipalities.
Also in attendance were some of CAPCO’s key partners, the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) and Keep America Beautiful. CAPCO was able to make connections with new organizations to further its goals of increasing awareness about the recyclability of aerosol products among consumers; getting more recycling programs to accept empty aerosol products; and communicating its acceptance more consistently on carts and bins, waste-hauler and municipality websites and via other educational outlets.
