Don't Toss That There! Understanding Recycling and Composting
NSWA member Julia Goldstein leads an interactive workshop that will explain how and why recycling in the US has changed in the past two years. Learn how material recovery facilities sort waste and where it goes. The system may seem broken, but it doesn’t have to be.This interactive workshop is a place to bring your questions and get answers.
Goldstein is the author of Material Value: More Sustainable, Less Wasteful Manufacturing of Everything from Cell Phones to Cleaning Products, released in April 2019. She is writing a consumer-facing guide on waste management and reduction. She is building a list of beta readers who will get early access to the electronic version of the interactive guide and help shape its content.
