The minister, who is known to support the role of community recyclers, will be speaking about the role of the community sector in delivering the government’s waste strategy.
The CRN is a national umbrella organisation representing over 300 community recycling and waste management projects throughout the UK. Its 12th annual conference is being held in Bristol for the first time and will be a major opportunity to showcase community recycling in Britain. International speakers from the United States, Australia and Europe have also been lined up to give a global perspective on sustainable waste management.
“We are delighted that the minister will be addressing the conference to spell out the government’s strategy on boosting community sector recycling initiatives. The minister's address will be both timely and extremely welcome,” said Christie Anthoney, events co-ordinator for the CRN.
The conference is being held at the Thistle Hotel in Bristol, May 17-19 with sessions on community finance, new funding for the recycling sector and market development.
