This session will cover the role of innovations like blockchain and waste-to-crude in developing sustainable packaging options; how Uber-style recycling companies are picking up the slack of local municipalities; how plastic continues to fit into the puzzle; and why it's a good idea not to shift packaging-related responsibilities to the consumer.

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.
