PaintCare participates as a sponsor at the NERC conference every year because we value connection and the opportunity to discuss shared values and environmental solutions with other organizations. The NERC conference brings together a variety of individuals with different backgrounds and perspectives on recycling opportunities, legislation challenges, sustainable initiatives, and more. It’s also the perfect place to share our success operating paint stewardship programs in states across the country and raise awareness about how to keep paint out of the waste stream. We greatly value our partnership with NERC and highly recommend this conference for anyone hoping to connect with a fantastic group of people working to make the world a better place.
