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

SUMMARY:Requirements on the Import & Export of Plastic Scrap
DESCRIPTION:Download Slides \nThe webinar reported on the new international requirements for exports and imports of plastic recyclables or scrap. In May 2019\, 187 countries decided to significantly restrict international trade in plastic scrap and waste to help address the improper disposal of plastic waste and reduce its leakage into the environment. As a result of these changes\, adopted under a treaty called the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal\, international shipments of most plastic scrap and waste will be allowed only with the prior written consent of the importing country and any transit countries\, effective January 1\, 2021. \nThe new Basel provisions significantly limits the market for U.S. plastic recyclables. Because of a provision under the Basel Convention that prohibits trade between countries that have ratified the Convention (i.e.\, Parties) and non-Party countries like the United States\, Basel Parties are not be able to trade most plastic scrap and waste with the U.S. absent a separate agreement between countries that meets certain Basel criteria. The U.S. has one such agreement that addresses trade in non-hazardous plastic scrap with member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the presentation discussed how plastic scrap is covered under that agreement. \nPresenters: \n\nRick Picardi\, Chief of International Branch\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery\nLia Yohannes\, International Policy Analyst\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery
