The Future of Sustainable Materials Management: Reflections from OR DEQ

Oregon DEQ is focused on issues that look “beyond discards” or “beyond the bin”. The webinar covered:

• An introductory presentation that addresses Oregon DEQ’s reasoning and motivation for getting out of the frame of “solid waste”
• A discussion about the process of effecting that transition via their “2050 Vision”
• A brief overview of some of their new work on green buildings, packaging, environmental foot-printing of products and materials, and consumption-based inventories.

Below is a recording of the webinar.
