The Joint Legislative Air and Water Pollution Control and Conservation Committee’s December 12 Environmental Issues Forum will hear a presentation on the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center.

The new Center’s Executive Director Warren Weaver and RMC Recycling Program Manager Robert J. “Bob” Bylone, Jr. will be the guest speakers and will describe the RMC’s start-up, the projects it is already working on and what the center will be focusing on in the future.

The new RMC is located at the Penn State Harrisburg campus. Penn State Harrisburg was awarded a five-year, $5 million grant from the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to open the center. The center is working closely with Pennsylvania manufacturers to expand and develop more secure and active markets for recovered materials.
