Beyond Recycling: Understand our society’s transition to a circular economy, the impacts of product life cycle, and how Oregon and Benton County are taking action to support this change. In this 80 minute workshop, former Oregon State University Recycling Manager John Deuel will share how our society arrived at this period of change, what our future systems will look like, and how these systems are different. 

• Participants will come away with the ability to explain what circular materials systems are, the impacts of a product’s life cycle and how it is measured.  
• Participants will also have the opportunity to explore their own roles in how these changes will happen in their lives including Benton County’s development of a Sustainable Materials Management Plan. 
• Updates on the most current rule making for Oregon’s Recycling Modernization Act, and related waste prevention and recycling legislation will also be presented. 

This workshop is being offered on Saturday February 10th, 10am at the Philomath Library as part of Linn Benton Community College’s  Extended Learning Program at a cost of $29. Register here.

Our home in Philomath, Oregon is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya.  Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 (Kalapuya etc. Treaty), Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are a part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians.
