Do you have an idea to reduce waste? We want to hear it! Whether you’re an artist repurposing materials, a composting farmer, an innovative entrepreneur, a zero-waste minimalist or just someone with a great idea, we want to hear from you.

We are hosting The Pitch, an idea battle at breakfast on Thursday morning of the Conference. Here’s how it works: folks with any sort of waste reduction idea will submit a proposal for a short 6 minute presentation (in the same vein as Pecha Kucha). The IRC’s conference committee will pick a handful of proposals to be presented at the Conference. After the presentations are delivered, the audience will vote on its favorite idea. The winner will receive a full pass to the national Resource Recycling Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

Not in the recycling industry? Don’t worry. All that matters is that you have a great idea. Be quick, be creative, be influential, and the prize could be yours. Ready to pitch?
