WM hosted SWANA Executive Director/CEO Amy Lestition Burke, MA, FASAE, CAE, SWANA Membership Senior Director Tammy Bennett, CAE, Ohio State Representative, House District 64, Nick Santucci, and the SWANA Buckeye Ohio Chapter to tour WM’s recycling facility in Cleveland, Ohio. The WM facility features optical sorting scanners for both fibers and plastic that work to optimize the recovery and quality of recycled materials. Additionally, the operation includes glass recovery and clean-up, and an advanced fire detection system designed to detect fires before they spread. The WM Cleveland Recycling Facility is capable of processing 144K tons a year of material, giving materials a second life, and providing greater opportunity for local solutions for single stream recycling. The tour included a CNG rolloff truck. WM is able to create renewable natural gas at landfills to power businesses, heat homes and even fuel vehicles. The group discussed safety protocols of WM vehicles and facilities. Safety is WM’s key priority. Thank you to Public Affairs Manager George Brown, Manager III Cleveland MRF Jason Bring, WM Way Coach Logan Tidrick, and Area Disposal Manager Erick Palmer, MBA for sharing your expertise with us and being part of SWANA! #ClimateChampions #Recycling #Circularity #Safety #CNG

EPR legislation has been ramping up. In the past few years, more and more bills have been introduced, proposing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging, batteries, paint, mattresses, and more. It's important that the waste and resource recovery sector have a seat at the table to help determine the direction of these policies. SWANA Director of Public Policy, Kristyn Oldendorf, attended a roundtable discussion hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce on EPR, joining businesses and associations from across the value chain. Participants agreed with the need to have all stakeholders involved in determining EPR policies. The group discussed the potential for EPR to enable safer working conditions, a priority for SWANA, especially with respect to lithium-ion batteries and other materials. SWANA members play an essential role in enabling recycling and recovery of materials, with the infrastructure, expertise and knowledge to strengthen recycling systems. SWANA will continue to represent the needs of members in these conversations. #SWANASafety #ClimateChampions
