Waste Management & the Circular Economy Future: EPR, Bottle Bill, Packaging and Beyond

  • Wednesday, May 08, 2024:3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Room: W220-221

Description

Waste management innovations that have been waiting in the wings have suddenly hit the ground running. Major new laws have been passed in more than a dozen states implementing circular economy solutions for plastic, packaging, batteries, solar panels and more. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has moved from theory to practice. A national bottle bill may finally be a reality. 
Learn what all this will mean for haulers, recyclers, producers and more from some of the key architects of the new system.
Be part of the discussion, including:
  • How EPR laws will work on the ground. 
  • How costs and responsibilities will shift between the players.
  • Tracking the titanic shifts that allowed percolating ideas to suddenly burst into the mainstream.
  • What’s next?
This topic is no longer an if but an inevitable when; attend this session to prepare your business for future action.
