The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), Washington, will honor retired ISRI Executive Director Herschel Cutler and recently retired Caraustar executive Crawford Carpenter with ISRI Lifetime Achievement Awards at the ISRI 2017 Convention & Exposition (ISRI2017), April 22-27, in New Orleans. The awards recognize extraordinary leaders for their longtime involvement, contributions and overall commitment to the recycling industry and to ISRI, the association says.
“The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of key leaders over the course of their careers within the recycling industry,” says ISRI President Robin Wiener. “This year’s honorees have helped shape the industry for generations to come. It is with great pleasure that ISRI announces Dr. Hershel Cutler and Crawford Carpenter as the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award winners. There is no doubt that future recipients of this award will have the tireless efforts of these two gentlemen to thank.”
Cutler, who holds a Ph.D. in economics, had a 33-year career with ISRI and an ISRI predecessor association, the Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel. During his tenure, Cutler led the association and the industry in its many battles against export controls, railroad freight-rate problems, publicly subsidized recycling programs, Superfund and other challenges, ISRI says. Cutler helped transform ISRI, growing the association’s talent and scope to become the leading source of information, education and training inside the industry and to become the world-leader in advocacy for the recycling industry.
Carpenter has had long and dedicated career in the paper recycling industry, ISRI says, and has been committed to promoting the industry to the next generation of leaders. Through his service on the ISRI board of directors and his roles as president of the Recycling Research Foundation (RRF) and of the Paper Stock Industries (PSI) Chapter of ISRI, Crawford has advocated for paper recycling and guided the greater association to new levels of industry leadership, the association says. He worked to promote RRF’s student scholarship program and led the effort to create a special military veterans college stipend as a way for the industry to give back to all those who served the nation. Carpenter also was involved in the development and spread of ISRI’s youth outreach and education curriculum designed to encourage children to recycle and teach them about the science and technology involved in the industry.
Cutler will receive his Lifetime Achievement Award at the ISRI2017 Opening Session Tuesday, April 25. Carpenter will be honored at the show’s Closing Session Thursday, April 27. Both sessions will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
