Cost: $29.00
Description:
There has been much talk about organics and food waste diversion from landfills and the food waste problem in the U.S. Little information is available, however, that addresses solutions to these issues. The focus of this webinar will be on organics/food waste collection and best management practices for generators, haulers, and processors. Discussion will include residential, commercial and/or institutional collection practices that work for different types of food waste and organics programs. Case studies will be presented that discuss existing programs and solutions that could serve as models or building blocks for new or existing programs.
The webinar will feature the following Programs:
|
|
- Principles of Source Separation and Collection Best Practices. Lorenzo Macaluso, Director of Client Services, The Center for EcoTechnology (CET). MA
The Center for EcoTechnology (CET) will present on experience in building a viable infrastructure to advance efforts in diversion of organics and wasted food. CET will share strategies used in building food waste infrastructure such as; providing technical assistance to generators of food waste and organics, best management practices for food donation, commercial compost site technical assistance and expansion of hauler contracting to include organics services. The presentation will share an effective national organics recovery model that is being played out in the Northeast.
Attendees will learn:
- Factors that play into a thriving organics diversion marketplace
- Efforts to increase access to diversion opportunities for food materials
- Tools and services available for increased diversion impact
- Success stories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York
- Proven Methods for Phasing in Organics Recovery Programs. George Savage, Senior VP, CalRecovery, CA
This presentation will cover the following topics:
- Sources/generators and characteristics of their organics
- Collection alternatives and factors
- Processing alternatives (e.g., pre-processing, composting, anaerobic digestion), factors, and options for use of recovered materials
- Strategies and selection criteria for implementing successful organics and food waste recovery programs
- Strategic Programs for Maximizing Diversion. Rick Shipley, Chief Executive Officer, Organix Recycling, LLC. IL
One size rarely fits all but this is especially true with regard to the development and implementation of a food waste program. Creativity and flexibility by both the generator and recycler are required to ensure the long term success of the program. In this presentation we will look at practical and real life examples of successful programs and the obstacles which were identified, addressed and overcome to maximize diversion and minimize operational disruption at various types of generators
