For Immediate Release
National Recycling Coalition (NRC) Update: Corona Virus and the National Zero Waste Conference
On March 9 event organizers were notified by UC Berkeley that “all campus-sponsored events with plans for more than 150 attendees will be canceled or postponed” to help slow the spread of COVID-19. This new policy applies to the National Zero Waste Conference.
As a result, in line with the University’s announcement and in the interest of public health, NRC is suspending the National Zero Waste Conference scheduled for March 18 & 19, 2020.
The National Recycling Coalition Board is now actively planning alternative arrangements, including alternative dates and coordinating online presentations.
