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

SUMMARY:De-packaging & Commercial Composting - An Integrated System for Organics Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Joint NERC and NEWMOA webinar \n \nDe-packaging is a relatively new player in the commercial anaerobic digestion and composting industry\, providing a tool for commercially-generated food waste – such as unsold and damaged food and beverages – to be separated from its packaging. The food is processed in an anaerobic digestor\, the packaging is recycled\, and some of the residuals can be composted. During this joint webinar\, three industry experts presented: \n\nDebra Darby\, Tetra Tech\nJohn Hanselman\, Vanguard Energy\nBrian Paganini\, Quantum BioPower

SUMMARY:Strategies for Collecting Residential Food Waste
DESCRIPTION:Joint NERC & NEWMOA Webinar \nWebinar Recording \nComposting and anaerobic digestion are great\, but first the organics have to be collected. This webinar presented three models for successful collection of food waste from households: \n\nAmy Donovan\, Franklin County Solid Waste District (MA) \, who will focus on transfer station drop-off\nBob Spencer\, Windham Regional Solid Waste District (VT) \, who will focus on municipal curbside and transfer station drop-off\nConor Miller\, Black Earth Compost \, who will discuss a subscription service that collects curbside organics from households

SUMMARY:The Spectrum of Approaches to U.S. Packaging EPR: From Reimbursement to Full Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar was co-organized by NEWMOA\, the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI)\, and the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC). As extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation for packaging and paper products (PPP) gains momentum in the U.S.\, many different approaches have emerged. This webinar summarized the spectrum of EPR models\, from “Full EPR” systems run by producers to “Municipal Reimbursement” systems with more municipal control\, and many hybrid structures. PSI [PDF] presented an overview of the emerging EPR for PPP models and shared lessons learned from around the world about the pros and cons of each approach. Then\, experts from New York [PDF]\, Vermont [PDF]\, and Maryland [PDF] shared insights into why each state has taken a distinct approach to EPR for PPP. \nWebinar: View the recorded presentation

SUMMARY:Fate of Non-organic Packaging Materials from De-packaging Operations – How Much is Recycled & Into What?
DESCRIPTION:De-packaging is growing as a way of making the significant amount of waste from unused packaged food available for anaerobic digestion and composting. During the webinar\, attendees heard from operators of de-packaging facilities. The webinar covered: \n\nHow do de-packaging operations work?\nWhat are the non-organic materials generated by de-packagers?\nWhat happens to the non-organic materials – what and how much is recycled and how much ends up as waste?\nThe impact of de-packaging on organic material and the potential for transfer of contaminants\, including micro-plastics.\nPresenters:\nRyan Harb [PDF]\, Vanguard Renewables\nRashi Akki & Dan Woodger [PDF]\, Ag-Grid Energy\nEric Roy [PDF]\, University of Vermont

SUMMARY:Recycled Content Mandates: The Good\, the Bad\, & the Ugly
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was co-sponsored by NEWMOA\, Northeast Recycling Council (NERC)\, and West Coast Forum on Climate and Materials Management. \nRecycled content mandates are growing in popularity as a policy mechanism to engage producers in responsibility for recycling markets\, sharing in the costs of a functioning recycling system\, and reducing climate change impacts. But not all recycled content mandates are the same\, and some have the potential for unintended consequences. \nThis webinar took a closer look at: \n\nCalifornia’s experience with several\, very different recycled content mandates\nWhether or how mandates might support\, or conflict with\, broader extended producer responsibility policies\nPotential economic and environmental limitations of recycled content mandates\, and some possible solutions\n\nSpeakers: \n\nMark Murray [PDF]\, Executive Director\, Californians Against Waste\nSteve Alexander [PDF]\, President and CEO\, Association of Plastics Recyclers\nDavid Allaway [PDF]\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Minimum Post-Consumer Recycled Content Model Legislation for Plastics
DESCRIPTION:Starting in 2020\, a group of state recycling officials from the northeast worked together to develop draft Model Legislation for minimum post-consumer recycled plastic content in trash and carry-out bags and food\, beverage\, and household product containers. The Model Legislation is intended as a common starting point in the development of legislation requiring the use of post-consumer recycled plastic in specified products sold in the states. During this webinar\, NEWMOA and NERC reviewed the draft Model. \nPresenters: \n\nTerri Goldberg\, NEWMOA\nLynn Rubinstein\, NERC\n\nView the Slides \nView the recorded webinar

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:Avoiding Contamination in Food Waste Feedstock for Composting
DESCRIPTION:The usefulness and value of finished compost depends on a feedstock that is free of contaminants\, such as plastic and non-degradable service ware and bags. Unfortunately\, it is all too common to find these materials in food waste destined for composting. This webinar\, jointly hosted by NERC and NEWMOA\, addressed successful educational strategies and programs to avoid these contaminants. \nPresenters included: \n\nErin Skelly\, Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Organics Recycling Facility\, Minnesota [PDF]: “Strategies to Reduce Contamination at a Large Scale Composting Facility”\nKate Kurtz and Becca Fong\, Seattle Public Utilities [PDF]: “Addressing Compost Contamination in Seattle: a combination of policy and outreach”\nNatasha Duarte\, Composting Association of Vermont [PDF]: “Navigating Compost Contamination Concerns in Vermont”\n\nView the recorded webinar.
