Subject: [GreenYes] Contamination in Recycling - December 16th - Last Webcast
of the year from CRI

*Time: 12:00PM Pacific (2PM Central, 3PM Eastern)*

In his New York Times opinion piece, John Tierney concluded that recycling
is “wasteful….costly and ineffectual.” We know this isn’t true, but we also
know there’s room for improvement. With that in mind, our next webcast will
deconstruct a familiar but critical issue—contamination
<https://org2.salsalabs.com/o/7377/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=13373>—to
examine how much material is lost in the recycling process so that we can
design better systems that don’t lose so much. Contamination of materials
is one problem that has numerous impacts on stakeholders invested in
recycling - including consumers and environmentalists.

The webcast will explain the difference between the contamination that
happens when curbside recycling bins are filled with items that shouldn’t
be there, and the contamination that results when material is improperly
sorted. We will look at three research studies that examined materials
after they were sorted and quantified how much material was improperly
sorted.

Join the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, NAPCOR, and the
American Forest and Paper Association
<https://org2.salsalabs.com/o/7377/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=13373> as
they discuss the effects contamination has on recycling and utilization of
materials. Single stream versus mixed waste, including the economics of
differing systems will also be addressed. CRI’s Susan Collins will moderate
the panel of experts.
