An exhibit of artwork from my Salvaged Beauty Collection will be part of this forward thinking event.

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is proud to host the National Recycling Day Art Show, presented by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), in the RCon™ exhibit hall in Columbus, Ohio. 

The show will feature art crafted from repurposed materials by local Ohio artists in honor of America Recycles Day, which is Nov. 15.  

“Bringing the National Recycling Day Art Show to SWANA's inaugural RCon conference makes perfect sense. We share common goals in promoting fun ways to reuse materials and reduce waste,” explains SWANA CEO Amy Lestition Burke, MA, FASAE, CAE. 

“I’m always in awe to see the creativity and ingenuity that bring these pieces to life,” Ohio EPA Director John Logue said. “We are so excited and proud to share our Recycled Art Exhibit with everyone at this year’s RCon event to show how discarded items can be repurposed to promote sustainable ways to reduce waste.” 

The art show’s theme focuses on three key principles: 

• Reduce: Minimize the amount of waste generated;

• Reuse: Repurpose old products and parts; and

• Recycle: Utilize recycled resources.

"The letter ‘R’ in RCon stands for resource and other words like recycle, reuse, reinnovate, relevant or just about any other ‘R’ word you can think of, so the art show’s theme is well-aligned with the experience we’re offering to attendees,” says Lestition Burke. 

RCon, SWANA’s flagship conference, will be held Nov. 12-15 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, and the art show will be open to attendees during RCon exhibit hall hours from Nov. 12-14.  

As the go-to-conference for our industry, RCon redefines the waste and resource management landscape with dynamic discussions, expert speakers, and sessions designed to turn challenges into solutions. View the full agenda.
