This joint NEWMOA and NERC webinar will focus on proper management of waste from e-cigarettes and vaping, including any opportunities for recycling the materials. The presenters will provide an overview of these devices and their associated waste streams, whether any of the materials meet the definition of hazardous waste, what the commercial and institutional facilities that have these wastes are required to do, and what challenges are posed by these waste streams. One of the presenters will share the results of environmental inspections of vape shops and their waste streams.

Presenters include:

• Michael Tynan, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Kristin Fitzgerald, EPA Headquarters Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery
• Donald Stillwaugh, Department of Solid Waste, Pinellas County

The three presentations will last for an hour followed by a half hour for questions and answers.
