CalMAX Featured Articles

CalMAX published quarterly catalogs from 1992-2005; however, in an effort to reduce the use of paper and streamline the administrative process, CalMAX made the decision to publish the last catalog in the summer of 2005 and operate exclusively as an online exchange service. Past issues of the CalMAX Catalog contained a variety of featured articles on topics relevant to reuse and recycling. As time passes, information in these articles may become obsolete and the reader should be aware that data and information regarding persons and organizations may no longer be correct. However, many of the articles contain great ideas and interesting perspectives on the world of reuse and recycling!
