Product Stewardship and the Pandemic: Surviving and Thriving in Disruptive Times

The COVID-19 global pandemic has had far-reaching impacts on business operations. While we are all eager to put the pandemic behind us, other catastrophic events will inevitably occur. To strengthen organizational resilience going forward, we must examine lessons learned and position product stewardship as a key player in business continuity and crisis management.

This future-focused webinar will identify the broad range of complex, unresolved, and evolving issues product stewards have faced and continue to face because of the pandemic.

Strategies for Collecting Residential Food Waste

Composting & anaerobic digestion are great, but first the organics have to be collected. This free webinar being offered by NERC & NEWMOA, will present three models for successful collection of food waste from households: • Amy Donovan, Franklin County Solid Waste District (MA), who will focus on transfer station drop-off • Bob Spencer, Windham Regional Solid Waste District (VT), who will focus on municipal curbside and transfer station drop-off • Phoebe Lyttle, Garbage to Gardens, who will discuss a subscription service that collects curbside organics from households

De-packaging & Commercial Composting - An Integrated System for Organics Recycling

De-packaging is a relatively new player in the commercial anaerobic digestion & composting industry, providing a tool for commercially-generated food waste - such as unsold & damaged food and beverages - to be separated from its packaging. The food is processed in an anaerobic digestor, the packaging is recycled, & some of the residuals can be composted. In this free joint webinar, we will hear from three industry experts: • Debra Darby, Tetra Tech • John Hanselman, Vanguard Energy • Brian Paganini, Quantum BioPower
