Here’s a brief descriptor…
Carrying out a routine recycling program at a stadium or other sporting venue can be challenging enough. Creating a winning recycling program at a temporary, large, multi-venue, community-wide sporting event can test even the most experienced sustainability professionals.
This webinar will provide basic principles for setting up a multifaceted program beyond the venue site such as “spill over” public space, pedestrian areas, event hotels, team restaurants and even outdoor event spaces such as streets or plazas. Real world case studies will be presented by panelists with experience in planning and executing recycling and waste management programs at such events.
Moderator: Briana Bill, Greening Coordinator, U.S. EPA – Chicago
Speakers:
Jacob Hassan, Community Recycling Coordinator in the US EPA
Chicago’s Materials Management program
Mark Root, Strategic Account Executive, Coca-Cola Recycling
Bruce Rayner, Chief Green Officer with Athletes for a Fit Planet
Laura Moreno, Environmental Scientist in U.S. EPA Pacific Southwest Region’s Pollution Prevention and Solid Waste program
