The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) announced that Kirk Sander, chief of staff and vice president of safety and standards, was selected as a consensus body member for the continuous maintenance process of ANSI-GBI 01-2019: Green Globes Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings.

“I am glad Kirk was selected to serve on this standards-setting committee. Given his background and work, he is uniquely qualified. His presence means the waste and recycling industry will have a voice at the table on the design of facilities where our industry collects the waste and recyclables, with the goal to make collection safer and more efficient,” said NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith in a statement.

NWRA serves as the secretariat for the ANSI Z245 Committee on Equipment Technology and Operations for Wastes and Recyclable Materials.
