RMA Adds to Planned Scrap Program

RMA added an extra day to its planned second annual “Scrap to Profit – Using Ground Rubber in Rubber and Plastic Products” seminar, now set for May 6-7 at the Solamar Hotel in San Diego, Calif.

The extra half-day was added to accommodate International Tire Conference attendees from Mexico who are interested in attending, RMA said.

The added half-day workshop will discuss the key selling points and best approaches for the green building market and selling to government sectors – federal, state and local. Due to the interactive nature of the workshop, seating is limited and registration is $50.

Other programs occurring at the International Tire Conference (May 5-9) in addition to the Scrap to Profit program include: review of the tire initiative and effective strategies for managing scrap tires and encouraging markets along the U.S.-Mexico border region, scrap tire processing and financing, civil engineering uses of scrap tires, continuous improvement for processors and manufacturers, quality assurance, quality control for playgrounds and much more.  
 
Registration for the Scrap-to-Profit conference is available at www.scraptoprofit.com, but you must contact the Hotel Solamar directly (877-230-0300) for rooms by Apr. 3. (Tire Review/Akron)
