To begin the new year of webinars, we are starting where the waste begins on our campuses: purchasing.

This webinar explore the process of creating a purchasing policy which is responsible for the environment, supports recycling and matches your waste collection ability. We also will share important information about spreading the news about your purchasing policy and encourage widespread implementation which would support your waste reduction numbers.

Presenters:

Executive Director, Northeast Recycling Council (NERC)
