As one of the most influential zero waste events in California, the CRRA (California Resource Recovery Association) Conference & Trade Show brings together sustainability professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, and advocates to explore the future of waste reduction, reuse, and circular economy practices. This year’s program continues to emphasize the importance of innovative, scalable solutions that rethink how materials flow through our economy.
