Beckett to speak at CRN conference

Secretary of State for the Environment Margaret Beckett will be the key speaker at this year’s Community Recycling Network (CRN) conference. She will be speaking about the government’s commitment to a more environmental waste management strategy. The thirteenth annual conference is returning to Birmingham this year, host city of many previous CRN events. International guests from Italy, California and Egypt have also been lined up to give a global perspective on sustainable waste management.

“We are delighted to welcome Mrs Beckett to our conference,” says Andy Moore, CRN coodinator. “We are impressed at the way she has got to grips with the waste brief and we are looking forward to working with her in what promises to be an exciting year for recycling.”

Ray Georgeson, director of policy at WRAP, is one of the conference’s key speakers and will be talking about the future of recycling, local markets and economic development. “I am delighted to be attending. The annual CRN conference is one of the key events in the sustainable waste management year,” he says.

The conference is being held at the Paragon Hotel, Birmingham May 29-31. Wednesday, the first day, will be dedicated to local authorities – leading strategists, policy makers and sustainable waste management companies will be presenting ideas and information on funding opportunities, building successful partnerships, hitting targets and delivering best value.
