Fallston Group Founder Rob Weinhold has been selected to speak at the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textile Association’s (SMART) Annual Convention in San Diego during the month of February. In addition to speaking about strategic communications and media in the digital age, Weinhold will also be conducting advanced media relations training and working with member companies on their outreach strategies.
Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles (SMART) is an international nonprofit trade association that strengthens the economic opportunities of its diverse membership by promoting the interdependence of our industry segments and providing a common forum for networking, education and trade. Since 1932, SMART has been at the forefront of recycling. SMART members use and convert recycled and secondary materials from used clothing, commercial laundries and nonwoven, off spec material, new mill ends and paper from around the world. SMART member companies create thousands of jobs worldwide. SMART members prove each day that you can make money by being socially responsible.
SMART members reclaim, convert and recycle textiles across the globe. SMART’s primary mission is to increase public awareness of textile recycling to remove clothing and textile products from the world’s waste stream. Working in concert with manufacturers and charitable organizations, SMART member companies annually divert 3.8 billion pounds of textile products away from landfills into the recycling industry. This is despite the fact that consumers divert only 15% of used clothing out of the waste stream.
