The presenters included: Dr. Yan […]
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 […]
This joint NEWMOA and NERC webinar focused on the emerging business of upcycling food waste. The presenters covered: State of the upcycled food movement - definition, certification standard, and environmental benefits How upcycling is different than other methods of diverting wasted food – donation, animal feed, composting, anaerobic digestion Key challenges with upcycling food waste […]
A Joint Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) and NEWMOA webinar Finding a successful route to addressing climate mitigation goals as part of solid waste management is critical. The three presenters provided examples and context for how leadership organizations have been acting and what those actions have achieved. Presenters: Anne Germain , Chief Operating Officer & Senior […]
Recycling Economic Information Studies provide an exciting window into just how big of a deal recycling is for the economy and jobs. This webinar focused on what ISRI has been doing on this important topic, as well as EPA's national report, and the State of Connecticut's 2021 study.
