Any number of people can speak on recycling and climate change. The tricky part is that EPA’s data – which is what everyone uses – assumes that all recyclables stay in this country. Unfortunately, more than half of the PET, a great majority of e-waste and perhaps up to 40 percent of paper are exported. China is the major recipient. China is now the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases. China is also indifferent to worker safety issues. We need to be straightforward on where recycling truly lowers greenhouse gas emissions and where the impact may not, unfortunately, be as positive. And we need to develop end markets in this country that will guarantee that recycling’s impact lives up to EPA’s data.

Detroit can be beautiful in May J Truly, this conference is shaping up to be very interesting, especially with a full day workshop on interpretation and tours of a variety of waste management facilities (incinerator, single stream, dirty MRF, etc.) as well as the potential of a Tigers game, MoTown party and maybe even a Michigan celebrity involved, yet to be committed. Please consider submitting a paper for this conference.
What I would like to have at the conference is a good session entitled, “Measuring Recycling’s Impact on Climate Change” Have you done or have you heard anyone do a really good presentation that can provide metrics for local recyclers regarding the positive impact that recycling has to reduce GHGs as well as create jobs and the other, well-known benefits? The conference had Brenda Platt speak this past year so we would need someone else this year. Any ideas?
