Lotzkar to head Canada’s recycling industry body

The Canadian Association of Recycling Industries (CARI) has appointed Jacqueline Lotzkar as its new president and ceo.

In her previous role she was vice president at Pacific Metals Recycling International in Vancouver. The 112-year-old family business was sold in 2024.

‘Jacqueline brings a wealth of experience and industry recognition to the role, positioning the organisation for continued success in the dynamic world of recycling,’ says CARI. ‘A highly respected leader in the recycling industry, Jacqueline was recently named one of Recycling International Top 100 of most inspiring and innovative recyclers.’

Lotzkar’s industry involvement includes active membership in the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), where she has worked closely with government officials in both the US and Canada to advocate for the recycling and manufacturing industries.
