BioCycle is in its 57th year of publishing. Nora has authored numerous articles on all facets of zero waste, food recovery and recycling, composting and anaerobic digestion. Additional responsibilities at BioCycle include BioCycle Conferences, BioCycle National Surveys, and BioCycle’s FindAComposter.com®, FindADigester.com and FindOrganicsHauler.com, free online directories. She is a recipient of the US Composting Council’s Hi Kellogg Award for Outstanding Service to the Composting Industry, and the American Biogas Council’s Biogas Visionary Award. Nora serves as a Board Member Emeritus of the American Biogas Council 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. 8 Interested in exhibiting? Contact [email protected] 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.

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. 10 Interested in exhibiting? Contact [email protected] 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. NEW!
