ISWA World Congress Kick-Off
GLOBAL WASTE OPPORTUNITIES
Thursday, August 25, 2016
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
SWANA hosts the ISWA World Congress on September
25-27, 2017, in Baltimore, Maryland. This kick-off is your
opportunity to learn how two major waste industry events
will blend into one SUPER conference that should top your
budget and travel requests for 2017. You shape the world,
but the world shapes you too – we’re all interconnected in
the modern sustainable waste management industry and the
circular economy.
The Thursday event at WASTECON will introduce you to key ISWA leaders who will be instrumental in shaping
the 2017 program.
Philip Heylen – Vice Mayor for Culture, Economy, City Maintenance and Property Management for the City of
Antwerp, Belgium. He chaired the 2015 ISWA conference in Antwerp and will share his vision of the look and feel
of an ISWA conference and what makes it such a special gathering.
Carlos RV Silva Filho, Diretor Presidente, Abrelpe.org – Carlos serves as vice president of ISWA. ABRELPE
was created in 2003 to provide information on “the Panorama of Solid Waste in Brazil.” Agencies, companies and
universities have praised the gathering and publication of this data as a comprehensive source of information for
the country.
More international speakers to be announced.
You’ll learn more about the ground-breaking reports that ISWA has produced in collaboration with other
international organizations, reports containing unique economic data that can help you understand the broad
perspective of sustainable global waste management and how that impacts your work in ways you might not
have considered. This session, and the ISWA Congress in Baltimore, are your window to a different cultural
perspective, the unique uses that other countries find for their discards, and how the global economy is impacted
by what happens outside North America.

ORGANIC WASTE GOES WHERE?
Recognizing that organics management is the hottest topic in solid waste management today, SWANA has lined
up a series sessions on Wednesday to explore how different organizations are collecting and processing food
scraps and other organics. You’ll discover examples to apply in your own community and contacts for follow up
conversations after WASTECON ends.
Organics Collection: From One Kitchen to the Next
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
This is a two-part presentation. The first session will start with a report from Jeremy O’Brien, SWANA’s Director
of Applied Research, on findings from a recently completed project by the SWANA Applied Research Foundation
on organics collection. Then, using a series of questions posed to each panelist, the moderator will catalyze an
open conversation on the current state of the collection and management of organic waste. Part one will focus
on residential collection, and part two will cover commercial collection.
Uneaten Food: Envision Opportunities, Not Waste
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
This session builds on SWANA’s Spring conference (SWANApalooza) with updates on what is being done to
reduce, recover and reuse food waste. You’ll hear updates on the EPA/USDA goal to reduce “food scraps”,
the ReFED report, The Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste, and the practices of leaders committed to save
resources, create jobs, alleviate hunger, conserve water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions — all while
stimulating a new multi-billion dollar market opportunity.
The Great Organics Debate
(Lunch and Learn)
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
(Ticket required for this event)
Many technologies are used or proposed to manage organic wastes (not just food scraps), including
landfilling, composting, anaerobic digestion, wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy and other conversion
technologies. Advocates for each technology claim to have the most cost-effective, environmentally
sound method for organics management. Some technologies base their claims of benefits or added value
on negative information about other technologies they want to displace. Who can you believe?
During your lunch, experts will debate the pros and cons of several technologies and try to separate
key information from misinformation. Topics may include relative costs, GHG emissions, other pollutant
emissions, odor, energy, transportation and water use. Participate in audience polls to determine which
position is most persuasive.
What we hope you learn from Wednesday’s organics focus:
1) Organics management may be the most important waste management issue of the next decade.
2) Many technologies exist for managing organic wastes.
3) Understanding the pros and cons of each technology is important to making the best choice for
YOUR community.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
Technical Divisions are SWANA’s name for special interest areas. They help you connect with professionals who are trying
to solve the same challenges. It’s the best way to track hot topics in your industry segment and access specific expertise.
Pages 10 and 11 highlight the hot topics “curated” by Technical Division leaders for WASTECON® 2016. Organized by the
division leadership, curated sessions engage participants in conversation and shape the future of our profession.
I Need Millions of Dollars to Support My Program – How Do I Get It?
Curated by the Collection and Transfer Technical Division
Public decision-makers are confronted with citizens/ratepayers asking for solid waste services to be provided
quicker, cheaper and faster. In a nutshell, the mantra is typically doing more with less. The Great Recession of
2008 resulted in a reduction of waste tonnages received by solid waste facilities, as well as reduced revenues
for solid waste systems. Until recently, most agencies kept the rates stable. How can solid waste directors fund
their need for replacement collection vehicles, landfill equipment and facility expansions? How do they proceed
on a cost of service/rate study to fully fund their agency’s needs going forward? Three solid waste directors
recently faced these funding issues during the course of conducting a third-party, cost of service/rate study.
Each has a different “spin” on how solid waste systems can be funded and how it can be presented to political
decision-makers.
The Final Outcome: Summary of the Final NSPS and EG Rules for Landfills
Curated by the Landfill Gas and Biogas Technical Division
After several years of working with EPA and other stakeholders and a lot of uncertainty, the landfill industry
must begin to comply with the newly promulgated NSPS and EG rules for landfills. In this session, experts from
the Rules and Regulation/Advocacy Committees of the Landfill Gas and Biogas Division will summarize the
final elements of the updated rules and assess the anticipated impacts the rules will have on landfills and the
LFG industry. The rule summary will cover key components of the new/updated rules as well as timetables for
rule implementation. In assessing impacts, the experts will detail impacts as they relate to additional costs for
compliance, compliance liability, and operational issues. The panel will also set forth important industry positions
on how best to address certain rule criteria.
The Elephant in the Room: Calculating a Waste Diversion Rate
Curated by the Planning and Management Technical Division
The methods for calculating a waste diversion rate are as varied as there are people or organizations that
calculate it. What should be the accepted method? Is there a standard that we could all agree upon? The
Planning & Management Technical Division wants to talk about the “elephant” and get it out in the open.
We are proposing a project involving SWANA HQ, Technical Divisions, Applied Research Foundation, U.S.
EPA, & NWRA to develop guidelines and recommendations for how to approach waste diversion rates. This
presentation will be the first of a two-part series and include examples of diversion rate calculations from across
the country that our presenters will bring. Part 2 will be presented at WASTECON 2017. We expect a lively
discussion of the main issues and a compelling start to the dialogue.
Strategies for Success from the Best of the Best
Curated by the Waste-to-Energy Technical Division
SWANA not only recognizes excellence, but also wants to encourage and promote “Best in Class” procedures.
We have invited some Excellence Award winners to share how they came up with their ideas, how they
implemented them, and how they measure their success. While the awards were for excellence in specific
technical divisions, the discussion will focus more on the “how” than the “what” of the operational, environmental
and safety achievements that earned them their awards. These companies will share winning strategies to help
you in your efforts to continually improve and share your facility’s excellence.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
These curated discussions are your opportunity to meet “your people” face to face. Working together in these sessions is
the best way to make connections and find your niche in the solid waste profession. In addition to the topics featured in
these pages, dozens more presenters are being selected to dig deep into the subject matter of SWANA’s seven technical
divisions. Look for those on the WASTECON® website.
Aggressive Recycling Goals? Let’s Strategize to Achieve Them!
Curated by the Sustainable Materials Management Technical Division
(formerly the Recycling and Special Waste Technical Division)
On one side, nationwide recycling goals trend towards aggressive recycling, on the other side, there are
discussions on sustainability of recycling – particularly scrutiny for economical unviability. Join us for this
interactive simulation session where the audience will be placed in a situation as decision makers. The situation
is to achieve recycling goals by focusing on three tiers of sustainability – environmental, social and economic.
The audience, serving as decision makers for the fictional “Green&Thrifty County”, will be provided a problem
statement with pertinent data and constraints. The problem is intended to resemble a real-world scenario in
the U.S. The problem will focus on Green&Thrifty County trying to achieve a state 75 percent recycling goal by
maximizing profit while balancing environmental and social concerns. Specifics of the problem statement will
be provided at the beginning of the session. The audience will be split into groups as county commissioners.
Concluding the session, we will focus on solutions presented by each group. Post-conference, session
organizers will submit a paper for publication opportunities.
