GMI Biogas Subcommittee Workshop Series: Understanding Your Waste Stream to Develop Methane Reduction Strategies
16 May 2024
Location: Virtual
Event Details:
Please join us for the next workshop in the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Biogas Subcommittee four-part workshop series: Mobilizing Methane Action at Open Dumpsites and Landfills. This workshop series, developed in partnership with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), will focus on exploring policies, technologies, and tools and resources aimed at reducing methane emissions from municipal solid waste.
The third virtual workshop in the series will focus on waste characterization as a means to mitigate methane emissions. In Part 1, participants will gain insights into the GMI Waste Characterization Handbook and the accompanying GMI Waste Characterization Tool, developed by the U.S. EPA. The Handbook provides additional recommended activities and resources to help cities best determine how to measure their waste, collect data, and make informed solid waste planning decisions. The tool allows users to analyze the composition of different waste streams. Part 2 will explore waste characterization in practice in Canada and Wisconsin.
