    Speaker Bios and Topics

    NCRA's Recycling Update (RU) is THE event of the year for Northern California resource management professionals. RU features 25 experts on the spectrum of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot, as well as networking opportunities and plenty of ideas to bring home to your community.

    Often referred to as conference “speed dating”, RU presenters have only 10 minutes to let you know about the latest and greatest in waste reduction, high diversion and Zero Waste. Attendees include municipal staff, service providers, consultants and activists as well as local, regional and state policy-makers and members of the media covering Sustainability, Zero Waste, Reuse, Recycling, Composting and Product Stewardship.

    Each paid registration includes 6 or 12 months of membership. If, for any reason, you prefer not to be a member, please find the Accept Membership? field at the bottom of the registration page and select No. Sponsors, Speakers and Zero Waste Production Team Members should select N/A.

    A few networking events are being planned - in-person and virtual. Stay tuned.

    In person attendees must comply with all Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances and regulations. The 12/22/22 City of San Francisco COVID-19 Health Order Update strongly recommends wearing masks in crowded settings.

    International Zero Waste Day Tour
    Thursday, March 30, 2023 - 9am - 4pm
    (Meeting times and locations to be confirmed)
    Napa Recycling & Composting Facility, with lunch at Southside Napa - a local green business and wine tasting at Clos du Val - a Napa Green certified winery!


    Many of you are well-schooled on collection programs and outreach, but what happens next? Come see the next steps in closing the loop.  We are lucky to have local Bay Area facilities with updated technologies to process collected materials into usable feedstocks.

    Napa Recycling & Composting Facility has an aerated static pile composting system, as well as an organics de-packager, organics pre-processing line, receiving building, and all electric equipment to sort and process 100,000+tons/year of organics into feedstock for the onsite composting facility.   Many of us have seen MRF sort lines for recyclables, but you also need to see an organics sort line and processing operation to get insight into how California is going to get to the state’s lofty organics diversion goals.  And, while we’re at it, you’ll also get a glimpse into the MRF as well - including the new glass cleaning system and sorting robot.

    And, since we’ll be in Napa… we will have lunch at Southside Napa - a local green business, provided by Napa Recycling and Waste Services, followed by wine tasting at the beautiful Clos du Val, a Napa Green certified winery!
