For the past 32 years, Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA), operating on behalf of the Government of Alberta, has stewarded provincial recycling programs for used electronics, paint, tires, and used oil & materials. During this time, ARMA has been working to help develop a marketplace that extends the lifecycle of these products, increasing their value through the supply chain so they can be used differently and more efficiently, ultimately reducing landfill waste and becoming an economic driver in Alberta and around the world.
APEGA seeks an experienced professional member to serve as the association’s representative on ARMA’s Nominating Committee, which serves to identify, recruit and review candidates to serve on ARMA’s Board of Directors.
