 Webinars

*Environmental Benefits Calculators - How they Work & How they Can Help** -
June 8, 2 pm eastern*

A comprehensive webinar organized by NERC and NEWMOA, highlighting
environmental benefits calculators that can estimate the climate change
value of source reduction, reuse, and recycling.  Featured calculators
include:

   - WARM - a tool for solid waste planners and organizations to track and
   voluntarily report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, energy
   savings, and economic impacts from various waste management practices. WARM
   calculates and totals these impacts from baseline and alternative waste
   management practices—source reduction, recycling, anaerobic digestion,
   combustion, composting, and landfilling.
   - ReCon – companies, government entities, and individuals can estimate
   the environmental impacts from purchasing and/or manufacturing materials
   with varying degrees of post-consumer recycled content using this tool.
   - ReFed – calculator to estimate the impacts of reducing food waste. .
   - Electronics Environmental Benefits Calculators – Cellphones, monitors,
   computers, televisions, servers, and imaging equipment

*Lithium Battery Recycling, June 14, 1 pm eastern*

This webinar is jointly offered by NERC, NEWMOA, and the New Jersey
Institute of Technology (NJIT). The presentations will provide an in-depth
examination of multiple aspects of spent lithium-ion batteries, including
innovations that reduce the environmental impacts of operations in
recycling, reuse, and recovery of valuable materials.

*The Spectrum of Approaches to U.S. Packaging EPR: from Reimbursement to
Full Responsibility, June 17, 2 pm eastern*

This webinar is hosted by NERC, NEWMOA, and the Product Stewardship
Institute (PSI). As extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation for
packaging and paper products (PPP) gains momentum in the U.S., many
different approaches have emerged. This webinar will summarize the spectrum
of EPR models in use around the world, from “Full EPR” systems run by
producers to “Municipal Reimbursement” systems with more municipal control,
and many hybrid structures. PSI will present an overview of the emerging
EPR for PPP models and share lessons learned from around the world about
the pros and cons of each approach. Then, experts from New York, Vermont,
and Maryland will share insights into why each state has taken a distinct
approach to EPR for PPP.

*Growing the Upcycled Food Economy - July 14, 1 pm eastern*

This joint NEWMOA and NERC webinar will focus on the emerging business of
upcycling food waste. The presenters will cover:

   - State of the upcycled food movement - definition, certification
   standard, and environmental benefits
   - How upcycling is different than other methods of diverting wasted food
   – donation, animal feed, composting, anaerobic digestion
   - Key challenges with upcycling food waste
   - Business leaders who are building the food upcycling economy
