Recycling Organizations of North America

RONA recently welcomed its first organizational sponsor with the anticipation that it would be the first of many industry and organizational partners.  As part of RONA's philosophical approach to be as inclusive as possible, our leadership hopes to engage as many sponsors and partners as possible. We believe that such partnerships will be wins for RONA, for RONA's organizational members and the sponsors for which business will be generated.  For more on sponsorship and partnership opportunities, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Welcome to the Recycling Organizations of North America (RONA) website. RONA was created as a resource for likeminded organizations: to support, enhance, teach, share, encourage, develop, grow and sustain recycling in North America.

The recycling community is a unique group. It is a young industry that wants and needs to work together to build successful programs throughout North America. These organizations will work together to develop and spread best practices and other resources that will facilitate the growth of the industry and related sustainable practices.

These resources and ideas will be spread by:

• Participating in an annual conference;
• Training and education;
• Forming coalitions with other likeminded organizations on an issue by issue basis to influence policy makers at the local, state and national level;
• The development of councils for businesses, universities, government, industry and other topic groups.

RONA will assist member organizations to facilitate the sharing of information and resources to:

• Develop the skills and resources of its members by enhancing recycling education;
• Facilitate communication and information and resource sharing between recycling professionals both in the private and public sector;
• Strive to develop consistent professional training and certification;
• Work to coordinate relationships that will help drive local and national policy.

We hope that you will help us in building a strong coalition throughout North America by joining RONA, participating in governance, programs or councils, and sharing your knowledge and experience with others through meetings, seminars, teleconferences, webinars, email groups, newsletters and any of the other many ways RONA will facilitate communication and education.
