The launch of REalliance, the national organisation for responsible resource management, was announced in June 2008 at the CRN/LCRN conference. Made up of national bodies the Community Recycling Network (CRN), Community Composting Network (CCN), Furniture Reuse Network (FRN) and London Community Resource Network (LCRN), REalliance was formed to create a single national body that could be consulted for best practice within responsible resource management and drive forward the development of the sector as a whole.
