Apologies for Cross-Postings

Plan now to attend the 5th Annual Recycled Product Trade Show, March 10-11, 
2004 at the Sacramento Convention Center!

For the past four years, the California Integrated Waste Management Board 
(Board) has hosted the trade show, in partnership with other public 
agencies and the private sector.  The trade show, which is now in its fifth 
year, has become a high-profile priority to the Board and the premiere West 
Coast event.

The purpose of the show is to promote recycling based businesses and the 
purchasing of recycled-content (RCP) and environmentally preferable (EPP) 
products.  The show brings together more than 100 exhibitors and over 2000 
attendees - buyers, specification writers, project managers, and support 
staff - all the people that make procurement decisions.

The Recycled Product Trade Show provides an opportunity for RCP and EPP 
suppliers to gain access to procurement leaders in the largest markets in 
the country, and allows government and industry purchasing officials the 
opportunity to become familiar with the wide array of RCPs and 
EPPs.  Attendees can place orders and conduct business with suppliers on 
the trade show floor to help them meet their unique RCP and EPP procurement 
requirements.

Buying RCPs and EPPs is not only good for the environment but good for 
business.  Recycling-based businesses support markets by creating jobs and 
producing value-added goods from materials diverted from local waste 
streams, while supplying products to meet the growing environment-friendly 
purchasing needs of government agencies and businesses.

Along with myriad of other RCPs and EPPs, this year's show will highlight 
sustainable building products and services - products with low embodied 
energy, long life spans, no or low volatile organics compounds.  These 
products can save you money - even those that may cost the same or slightly 
more up front will save money in the long run through reduced maintenance 
and replacement costs.

Why Attend?

As an attendee, you will have the opportunity to learn about new products 
and emerging marketing trends; talk directly to over 100 product suppliers 
and have them respond instantly to your questions and needs; explore a wide 
variety of high-quality products - paper products, office supplies, toner 
cartridges, building products, containers, furnishings, flooring/surfacing, 
insulations, lumber, etc., and finally, see how far RCP and EPP 
manufacturers have come with price, quality, and availability.
