Speaker's corner

 

BIR is very frequently contacted to provide speakers who are prepared to give presentations on BIR activities and recycling issues. For general information and involvement in their respective region, the BIR Ambassadors can be called upon directly. For more specific questions and presentations on technical issues, the BIR Secretariat is happy to recommend appropriate experts among its members.

For detailed information on a national level (market information, structure of recycling industry, country specific political matters), the Presidents and/or Executive Directors of BIR national member federations will be pleased to assist.
