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

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned from Implementing the Food Recovery Hierarchy
DESCRIPTION:The NEWMOA and the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) presented their recent projects focused on reducing wasted food. While the projects worked in rural and small town communities\, the outreach materials developed and lessons learned apply everywhere. \n \nThe PPT Slides are available:\nJennifer Griffith\, NEWMOA\nAthena Bradley\, NERC \nJennifer Griffith presented NEWMOA’s Promoting Strategies to Keep Food Waste Out of Landfills project that worked with solid waste and regional planning districts in rural areas of Maine\, New Hampshire\, and Vermont. The NEWMOA project focused on outreach to residents to reduce the generation of wasted food and increase backyard composting\, and on holding events to promote connections between farms\, businesses\, institutions\, food pantries\, community meal providers\, gleaning groups\, and other organizations to increase the recovery and donation of good food. \nAthena Bradley presented NERC’s Implementing Food Waste\, Organics\, and Manure Management in Rural Maryland Communities project that worked in two rural counties in Maryland. The NERC project developed outreach materials\, held training events\, and provided technical assistance on a variety of food waste topics\, including food waste reduction in schools\, community composting\, and incorporating food scraps in an anaerobic digestor. \n
