27 Feb 19

Tracks: Road to Zero Waste

In light of China’s import restrictions, cities around the country are piloting new programs to reduce contamination of plastics within materials recovery facilities, and creating value from them. In this talk we will explore the following:

  • Smart Bag Program
  • Material Recovery For the Future (MRFF)
  • Chemical Conversion as a new end market

We will discuss the latest results from these programs, and share insights on how to introduce these programs into your communities.
