With the Mayor’s release of One New York, the city aims to send zero waste to landfills by 2030, and one of the largest obstacles to achieving this goal is also a potential energy source—organic waste.
Join us to learn about new legislation requiring large food service establishments to separate food waste for collection and how the Department of Sanitation plans to provide technical and regulatory support. Then, hear how building design can help facilitate separation and offer onsite pre-treatment to better manage organic waste for other uses.
