The Resource Association, the new voice for the reprocessing and recycling industries, has announced the admission of Palm Recycling to membership of the Association

In a statement, Chief Executive Ray Georgeson said: "The Resource Association is delighted to welcome Palm to our ranks.

We look forward to playing an active role in the development and the life of the Association."

The Resource Association was launched in Parliament on 8 November 2011 with 11 Founder Members: Alloa Community Enterprises, Aylesford Newsprint, Bryson Recycling, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Huhtamaki (UK) Ltd., Kent Waste Partnership, May Gurney Limited, Novelis Recycling, Plastics Sorting Ltd, Smurfit Kappa Recycling, Somerset Waste Partnership.

The Association will focus on championing the value of UK reprocessing and recycling in terms of employment, resource efficiency and integrity, carbon reduction and our role in the low-carbon, green economy.

It will seek constructive dialogue with Governments across the UK, the European Commission, other trade associations and stakeholders with shared interests.

Founder Members have been recruited from all four constituent parts of the United Kingdom. Discussions are progressing with a number of other major companies and organisations in the sector. Further events to introduce the Resource Association to stakeholders in Wales and Scotland are planned.
