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.

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.

SUMMARY:Documenting P2 Program Activities & Getting Outcomes: Updates to the P2 & Compliance Assistance Metrics Database Software
DESCRIPTION:Andy Bray provided an overview of recent upgrades to the “Pollution Prevention and Compliance Assistance Metrics Database Software.” \nThis Microsoft Access-based database software application contains features for tracking program activities including: \n\nWorking one-on-one with clients (such as on-site visits and research)\nProducing educational and outreach materials\nSponsoring workshops and training events\nResponding to information requests\n\nThe database application also tracks the outcomes associated with many of these program activities\, including environmental\, behavioral\, and economic outcomes. Because each state’s pollution prevention and compliance assistance program is somewhat different in the scope of its activities and its structure\, the software can be customized so that programs can use only those components and the level of detail that suit their needs. \nFor more information\, visit: Pollution Prevention & Assistance Tracker (P2@) Software
