All NORA members are in the process of renewing their membership for 2008. The process includes each member signing a statement that confirms their commitment to NORA's Guiding Principles.
Each year NORA members receive education related to the best practices in liquid recycling and have access to the network of leaders in the country. This helps make NORA an "association of responsible recyclers."
A copy of NORA's Guiding Principles follows:
The NORA Guiding
Principles
