Materials Management Summit Series
The CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) hosted a series of three Summits as part of its Solid Waste Management Plan and Climate Change Action Plan strategies. The idea for these events grew out of a Roundtable discussion which took place on January 18, 2012 with Northeast environmental and economic development commissioners to explore how 21st century waste management could unlock the value of the materials economy.
Please review the materials from these events and the variety of topics covered. More resources will be included as the events unfold.
