SUMMARY:Recovering Food Waste Through Donation & Recycling: Ideas for the Hospitality Sector
DESCRIPTION:The amount of food wasted in the United States is staggering. In the U.S. more food ends up in landfills and incinerators than any other material – even more than paper and plastic. This is especially true for the hospitality sector\, where a considerable portion of the budget goes towards buying food – and then disposing of the unused food as waste. In this webinar\, participants will learn how food waste has significant economic\, as well as environmental consequences\, and ways that it can be diverted from the traditional disposal methods and recovered for donation\, recycling\, and composting. See the webinar agenda and links to presentations below. \nIntroduction – 10 min \nFood Waste 101 & the EPA Food Recovery Challenge – 25 min\nSpeaker: Jean Schwab\, EPA National Food Recovery Initiative\nJean Schwab is leading the EPA’s new National Food Recovery Initiative as well as the EPA’s GreenScapes Program for sustainable landscapes in the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery at EPA Headquarters. She has worked in the resource conservation and recycling field for 21 years – including over 18 years at EPA. Jean is the EPA lead and subject matter expert for organic materials management issues and serves on a number of national initiatives as a technical expert on materials and environmental management. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business and a Master’s degree in Urban & Environmental Planning. \nPrepared Food Donation: A Socially Responsible & Simple Alternative to Throwing Away Surplus Food – 20 min\nSpeaker: Jim Larson\, Food Donation Connection\nJim Larson directs program development for Food Donation Connection (FDC)\, LLC. Since joining FDC in 1998\, Jim has been instrumental in the growth of FDC’s Harvest Program\, which coordinates donations of prepared perishable food to local non-profit organizations nationwide. He implemented Harvest programs for YUM! Brands\, Darden Restaurants\, Cheesecake Factory\, and Chipotle Mexican Grill\, and is working with donors to establish programs in Australia and the United Kingdom. Jim works with Feeding America and advocates in the US Congress to encourage the donation of surplus prepared food by improving current food donation tax laws\, explaining the issues involved and providing statements for House and Senate committees. \nViva Recycling! – Food Scrap Recycling in Las Vegas – 20 min\nSpeaker: Brad Tomm\, MGM Resorts International\nBrad Tomm is the Director of Sustainability for MGM Resorts International’s Energy and Environmental Services Division. In this capacity\, Brad is responsible for the implementation of the company’s strategic environmental projects and initiatives in the areas of energy management\, green building\, sustainable supply chain\, and outreach and education. Brad also specializes in statistical and financial modeling of the company’s energy\, water\, and waste footprint. Brad is a member of the US Green Building Council and is a LEED AP. He holds a MBA from Thunderbird Global Business School and Bachelor degrees in Economics and Geology from Vanderbilt University. \nQuestions & Discussion – 15 min

SUMMARY:Managing Unused Latex & Architectural Paint Workshop: Focusing on Options for Rural Communities in Vermont
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Agenda \nPlease note: This meeting was designed to be as interactive as possible and encourage audience feedback and participation throughout the event. \n6:00pm Welcome & Introductions\nRachel Smith\, NEWMOA\nJim O’Gorman\, Rutland Co. Solid Waste District \n\nBuffet dinner provided by Gill’s Grinders.\n\n6:30pm The Problem with Managing Paint in Vermont\nCathy Jamieson\, VT DEC \n\nThis introduction “set the stage” for why managing leftover “waste” paint is an issue in Vermont – especially for rural communities. The remainder of the workshop focused on possible actions for communities\, including: prevention through consumer education and participating in a paint recycling program.\n\n6:45pm Preventing Waste Paint\nRachel Smith and Jennifer Griffith\, NEWMOA \n\nThis session focused on preventing the generation of waste paint and discuss educational messages that local retailers\, solid waste programs\, and others can use to encourage customers and residents to purchase the correct amount of paint. NEWMOA is developing outreach materials as part of this effort and got feedback from participants on these documents.\n\n7:30pm Recycling Paint\nMarjaneh Zarrehparvar\, PaintCare \n\nThis session covered information on Vermont’s recently passed product stewardship law for paint recycling – Act 58 – which requires the paint industry to be responsible for collecting and managing leftover architectural paint in the state. PaintCare\, a non-profit organization established to implement paint stewardship programs has set up programs in Oregon\, California\, and Connecticut. The success of these programs was discussed\, as well the process to get the Vermont program up and running by spring 2014.\n\n8:00pm Questions & Feedback / Group Discussion \n8:30pm Meeting Adjourned

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:C & D Materials Management & Markets in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by: The Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) and NEWMOA \nA recording of this webinar is available online. \nC&D materials are generated in new construction\, remodeling\, deconstruction and demolition. Common components of new construction in the U.S. include: wood; concrete/masonry; wallboard; metal; corrugated cardboard; bottles and cans; and trash. Demolition debris includes: concrete; wood; trash; scrap iron; asphalt; brick; and roofing. There is an increased emphasis on the processing and reuse of C&D materials. Many of these materials can be recycled and made into new products — clean\, untreated wood can be made into new wood products (i.e.\, furniture\, and wood chips and mulch for landscaping purposes); gypsum wallboard can be ground into a gypsum powder that is then manufactured into new plasterboard or applied as a soil amendment; and asphalt shingles can be recycled into cold patch\, new shingles\, or hot mix asphalt. \nThis joint NEWMOA and NERC webinar included presentations on: \n\nThe results of NEWMOA’s analysis of data collected by the environmental agencies in Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, New Jersey\, New York\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont on architectural C & D materials generation and processing. (download slides)\nThe results of a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) funded study that evaluated the current and future status of construction and demolition (C&D) debris management in Massachusetts\, and identified and recommend potential opportunities for the diversion of a greater proportion of recyclable materials to recycling markets. NERC administered and contracted with DSM Environmental Services (DSM) to conduct the project. MassDEP has established a goal of diverting 50 percent of C&D materials from disposal\, but in recent years the actual diversion rate has plateaued at around 30 percent. The primary objective of the analysis undertaken by DSM was to first assess incoming and outgoing materials at Massachusetts C&D processors and handling facilities\, and to determine what the opportunities and constraints are to increase materials diversion beyond 30 percent.

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
