DESCRIPTION:

ISRI has launched a digital version of the ISRI Specifications Guide at ISRISpecs.org, providing an online framework for buyers and sellers of recycled materials and products across the globe. For more than 100 years, the ISRI specifications have helped promote consistency and quality in the trade of recycled materials in the U.S. and around the world. Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration this invaluable resource is now accessible online to anyone at any time.

This webinar will educate domestic and international market participants, policymakers and general audiences regarding the new online specifications resource.
