SUMMARY:Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging: Policy Options that Integrate Climate Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging is increasingly being considered in various parts of the United States. But the focus is often limited to recycling systems\, and recycling has limited potential to address the threats of climate changes and plastic pollution. Policy could do more to engage producers in more meaningful and impactful solutions. This webinar introduced four emerging concepts that all aim to improve and expand upon existing policy proposals: funding prevention and reuse\, prevention and reuse targets\, impact evaluation and disclosure\, and optimizing (as opposed to maximizing) recycling. \nPresenters:\n– David Allaway\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\n– Janine Bogar\, Washington State Department of Ecology\n– Terri Goldberg\, NEWMOA\n– Justin Lehrer\, Stop Waste\, Alameda County\, CA

SUMMARY:Purchasing Standards for Low Carbon Concrete
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was co-organized and sponsored by NEWMOA\, NERC\, and the West Coast Climate and Materials Management Forum (WCMMF). \nConcrete is a critical building material. However\, the cement binder used in concrete is responsible for around eight per cent of humanmade CO2 emissions. This webinar explored low carbon concrete options and the growing number of purchasing standards that state and local governments have developed to give preference for these alternatives. Presenters included: \nPresenters included: \n\nJordan Palmeri\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (OR DEQ) [PDF]: “Low Carbon Concrete: Lessons from Oregon”\nKate Simonen\, University of Washington [PDF]: “Buy Clean Policy & Low Carbon Concrete”\nDorian Bailey\, The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey [PDF]: “Clean Construction: Low Carbon Concrete”\n\nView the Recorded Webinar.

SUMMARY:Environmental Benefits Calculators: How They Work & How They Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Joint Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) and NEWMOA webinar on environmental benefits calculators that can demonstrate the climate change value of source reduction\, reuse\, and recycling. Featured calculators included: \n\nWARM [PDF] – a tool for solid waste planners and organizations that tracks and voluntarily reports greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions\, energy savings\, and economic impacts from different waste management practices. WARM calculates and totals these impacts from baseline and alternative waste management practices—source reduction\, recycling\, anaerobic digestion\, combustion\, composting\, and landfilling.\nReCon [PDF] – companies\, government entities\, and individuals can estimate the environmental impacts from purchasing and/or manufacturing materials with varying degrees of post-consumer recycled content.\nReFed [PDF] – food waste reduction impact calculator.\nElectronics Environmental Benefits Calculators [PDF] – tool to estimate the impacts of cellphones\, monitors\, computers\, televisions\, servers\, and imaging equipment.\n\nWebinar: View the recorded presentation \nAdditional links and resources can be found here.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Oregon DEQ on Consumption-based Emissions Inventories
DESCRIPTION:The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) inventories greenhouse gas emissions in two different ways: the sector-based\, formally the in-boundary inventory; and the consumption-based emissions inventory (CBEI). The inventories utilize different accounting methods\, and each encompasses a unique scope of emissions. This webinar explored\, in broad strokes\, Oregon’s CBEI methodology\, data sources\, the lessons learned from their modeling\, and what actions DEQ is taking based on the results. \n \nPowerPoint Slides

SUMMARY:EPA’s Waste Reduction Model (WARM)
DESCRIPTION:Presenters from EPA Headquarters and ICF International provided an overview of the most recent revisions to EPA’s WARM. EPA created the Waste Reduction Model (WARM) to help solid waste planners and organizations track and voluntarily report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions from different waste management practices. WARM calculates and totals GHG emissions for baseline and alternative waste management practices—source reduction\, recycling\, combustion\, composting\, anaerobic digestion\, and landfilling. The Model estimates emissions across a wide range of material types commonly found in municipal solid waste. The latest version of WARM was released in March 2016. The majority of updates concern the addition of the anaerobic digestion materials management pathway.

SUMMARY:Conducting Carbon Footprint Assessments
DESCRIPTION:This three part webinar series covered the basics of greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for annual inventories and reduction projects\, why and how businesses and institutions are going through the process\, and what tools are helping them along the way. Participants were encouraged to participate in the full series: \nThursday\, April 28th\nSession 1: Carbon Footprint Assessments – What & Why\nThe first session covered the “what” and “why” of conducting a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory or carbon footprint analysis. In addition\, the session provided key concepts and resources to support the business case for climate action and the importance of good analysis as a springboard for climate action. \nThursday\, May 12th\nSession 2: Carbon Footprints Step-by-Step\nThe second session introduced participants to the protocols and standards used for conducting a greenhouse gas emissions inventory. It also covered the process for conducting an inventory or accounting for GHG reduction projects\, as well as existing calculators\, tools\, various registries and their validation and reporting requirements\, and available resources. \nThursday\, June 2nd\nSession 3: Case Studies of Carbon Footprinting\nThe third session focused on case studies of industries and organizations that have gone through greenhouse gas inventory exercises\, including lessons learned from establishing a baseline\, setting GHG reduction goals\, and working toward meeting those goals. \nThese webinars were brought to you by NEWMOA and the Northwest Pollution Prevention Resouce Center (PPRC) with funding support from the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx).

SUMMARY:Connecting Climate Change Mitigation with Materials\, Products\, & Waste
DESCRIPTION:This webinar provided an overview of how the life cycle of materials contributes to greenhouse gas emissions – and how materials management approaches\, including recycling\, composting\, and waste and pollution prevention\, and environmentally preferable procurement – offer significant opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Materials management is often underutilized in climate action plans because of how conventional greenhouse gas inventories treat these emissions\, and the presenters explained the importance of more comprehensive inventory approaches\, and how inventories can better reflect the emissions associated with materials – and emissions reduction potential of materials management. \nThe webinar also covered NEWMOA’s recently-released Climate-Waste Action Plan [PDF] and current initiatives underway to implement this Plan.
