While many large institutions are making real progress toward zero waste goals, hospitals and other medical facilities have struggled to keep pace. Healthcare generates an enormous amount of waste, much of it long considered unavoidable and unrecoverable. That’s starting to change as more sustainability initiatives are finding viable options to capture blue wrap and other plastic packaging from OR’s, clinics, and labs.
The Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA) and the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC) are co-sponsoring a webinar on de-packaging operations for processing food waste. 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 will hear from operators of de-packaging facilities.
The webinar will cover:
Join Stephanie Hicks, Materials Sourcing Manager at the Trex Company in Winchester, Virginia, to learn about recycling beyond the plastic bag at home. She has represented Trex Company’s recycling education and outreach for the last 10 years with a goal of educating the public on correct plastic bag and film recycling efforts. Trex collects recycled materials from all over the country in places like Kroger, Tom Thumb, Winco, and Albertsons grocery stores and Kohls.
Through a series of webinars, guides, case studies, and other learning materials, Globalrec's EPR Series aims to provide useful and effective tools to #WastePickers so they can participate in EPR legislation proposals, and also spread the word to other audiences so they can join and amplify the conversation. #LetsTalkAboutEPR

NERC/NEWMOA Webinar: Achieving Net Zero GHGs in the Solid Waste Industry
Finding a successful route to addressing climate mitigation goals as part of solid waste management is critical. The three presenters will provide examples and context for how leadership organizations have been acting and what those actions have achieved.
Speakers will be:
Expanding domestic recycling markets is essential to reach the U.S. National Recycling Goal of increasing the national recycling rate to 50% by 2030. Expanding our recycling capacity supports a circular economy that conserves resources needed to manufacture new products, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and creates U.S. jobs.
Join ReFED for a new webinar series designed to help you make the most of ReFED’s Insights Engine and Roadmap to 2030: Reducing U.S. Food Waste by 50%.
