With recycling rates averaging only 30% in the US there is plenty of room for improvement. Many companies and organizations have sustainability strategies that include goals to increase the capture and use of recycled content. These goals are often worked on within an organization where the scale and impact can be limited and not widely accessible or beneficial. Learn how The Recycling Partnership, the City of Baltimore, Dow and Rehrig Pacific Company have used their individual sustainability goals and aspirations to form a common foundation for collaboration. This session will explore how this public/private sector partnership has successfully delivered and implemented almost 200,000 roll out carts across the city. This inclusive and equitable new solution will enable The City of Baltimore to increase household recycling by 80% and will capture as much as 40 million additional pounds of recyclable material. Speakers: HyeSook Chung, President, Baltimore Civic Fund Cody Marshall, Chief of Community Strategy, The Recycling Partnership Jonathan North, Vice President Sustainable and Core Solutions, Rehrig Pacific Company Kristyn Oldendorf, Chief, Office of Waste Diversion, Baltimore City Department of Public Works Jennifer Ronk, Senior Sustainability Manager, Dow

While “zero emission” and “battery electric” are the hot buzzwords, compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling technology continues to have a strong footing in the refuse industry. Therefore, the death of the internal combustion engine has been greatly exaggerated. Fueling infrastructure for battery electric and CNG/RNG is still not feasible in vast swaths of the country, and clean diesel technology has made great strides. Engine manufacturers have focused on reducing emissions for more than a decade, and they now claim that current tailpipe emissions are cleaner than the air entering the engine! Whether your fleet is all diesel, you've transitioned some of it to CNG/RNG or you're leading the charge in battery-electric vehicle adoption, there are many great ways to keep driving your refuse collection fleet forward.

Listen we bring you a dynamic session from WasteExpo Together Online 2021, “National Food Recovery Evolution: MealConnect and Feeding America.” This session features speakers Justin Block, Managing Director of Digital Platform Technology, and Nathan Crone, Senior Account Manager of Agri Sourcing Partnerships, both at Feeding America—the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the U.S. Block set the stage by talking about Feeding America's engagement in the issues of hunger and food waste. He noted that these are urgent threats, particularly with over $218 billion worth of food being thrown away each year. He also pointed out that 275 U.S. counties have food insecurity rates over 20%. The Feeding America approach and process relies on a wide array of food donors, its network of more than 200 certified member food banks, and the agencies that utilize the food in helping to feed the 37 million hungry Americans.
