Mr Seggie brings with him previous experience of working with trade associations, having held the role of recovered paper sector manager at the Confederation of Paper Industries for the past seven years.
The appointment of Mr Seggie follows David Symmers decision to retire from his role as chief executive of the Recycling Association and its trading arm, the Independent Waste Paper Producers Ltd, in December 2010 (see letsrecycle.com story).
The Recycling Association hopes that Mr Seggies strengths and industry experience will allow him to help further the trade bodys offering to its members and help it to keep developing within a growing market.
The Recycling Association has set out a clear development strategy and I am pleased and excited to be part of it, said Mr Seggie. The recycling industry continues to growth with significant new entries who will all benefit from a strong trades association.
Mr Seggies role will be to ensure that members interests are fully represented to the other industry stakeholders.
Commenting on Mr Seggies appointment, Simon Ellin, chief executive of the Recycling Association, said: Peter is another strong addition to an exciting team being formed at the Recycling Association and will offer significant member benefits.
Peters experience in influencing and shaping waste and recycling policy at European, national and local level will mean members interests are fully carried to those that will set the framework that members work under for years to come.
The Recycling Association was rebranded from the IWPP although it has retained the name for its trading arm – in December 2009 as part of plans to represent a growing portfolio of its members interests.
