Food Waste Reduction and Management Webinar Series
In an effort to reduce the generation and disposal of commercial and institutional food waste, New York and New Jersey independently coordinated a series of regional forums in 2008 and 2009 to bring generators and managers of food waste together to learn how to better reduce and manage their food wastes and to share their experiences. Building upon these efforts, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation have partnered with the Solid Waste Resource Renewal Group at the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station to offer this webinar series designed to provide tips and tools for institutional and commercial food waste generators. This five part series will include topics such as an introduction to food waste and the climate change connection, how to conduct a waste audit, separation and collection of food waste, food donation, composting and anaerobic digestion, and EPA’s tools for waste reduction and food waste management. We look forward to your participation in this webinar series.
Registrants will be sent further information about how to login to each webinar before the webinar's start date.
All webinar offerings are FREE.
