In his inaugural speech, Schuy warmly thanked Dominique Maguin, who led Euric as President during its two first years of existence, the Board and the Secretariat for the excellent work done to serve the interests of the recycling industry. He outlined the importance of continuing the development of the Brussels-based umbrella Confederation for recycling industries.
“Euric has a pivotal role to play in addressing the challenges that recyclers face in their day to day business activities, such as excessive administrative burdens or unfair competition from the public sector, and in ensuring that the benefits recycling brings to the economy, environment and society are acknowledged and effectively reflected in legislation”, he said.
In his tasks, Schuy will be supported by two Vice-Presidents: Mr. Jean-Philippe Carpentier, President of Federec, the French Federation of Recycling Enterprises, and CEO of a plastic recycling company, and Mrs. Alicia Garcia-Franco, director General of FER, the Spanish Federation of Recovery and Recycling.
