The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) has announced that Rachel Hering has joined the association as vice president of chapter relations.
Hering joins NWRA from Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB), following a merger with Cooperative Teamwork & Recycling Assistance (CTRA), an organization she led for 12 years. During her tenure, she was responsible for advancing recycling access in Texas. She also established over 25 community recycling programs and secured more than $1.1 million in implementation and educational funding for member communities.
She has experience with materials management in rural and underserved areas across the country and Canada, for which she has provided technical expertise on rural recycling development and programs.
“I’m excited to join NWRA, an organization that advocates for the waste and recycling industry and is committed to making the industry safer and sustainable,” Hering said.
The Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) recently announced the appointment of Thomas F. Meyers as the company’s president and CEO, effective January 2024. He succeeds Lezlee Westine, who will leave her position as president and CEO at the end of the year.
