Kendall Christiansen of Whirlpool/InSinkErator will illustrate some of the cases that can help us all understand and be ready to discuss the confluence of liquid waste\, solid waste and climate action.\n\nThis is a great opportunity to learn the basics of an area that is complex and at times\, dare we say\, confusing\, which has inspired this event as the first in our “Waste to Watts” series to explore waste’s role in energy. \nNOTE: We are also tiptoeing carefully into (non-solid waste) areas… Traditional waste management has often treated liquid waste\, solid waste\, and greenhouse gas emissions as separate environmental challenges. We have noted more integrated ideas have been growing and there is potentially interconnected opportunities. We want to be on top of these conversations to keep our community at the forefront of knowledge and innovation. \n\n– COST –\n$23 CWMA Members | $28 Non-Members \n+GST.  CWMA’s operations are supported wholly by events like these\, dedicated patronage from sponsors\, and our membership.

Moderate risk waste is household hazardous waste and similar waste from institutional and commercial sources and include: waste motor oil\, portable fire extinguishers\, propane cylinders\, oil-based paint\, and lead-acid batteries. \nThe objectives of the amendments\, as outlined in the intentions paper and the What we Learned Report\, are to: \n\nBetter support the diversion of moderate risk waste from the municipal waste stream (for example\, by better facilitating the diversion of these wastes from landfills)\nDevelop requirements for storage and transport that are more achievable and practical while remaining protective of human health and the environment\nHarmonize requirements under the Hazardous Waste Regulation with the Recycling Regulation\n\nThe scope of the amendments focused on: \n\nStoring moderate risk waste at Return Collection Facilities (RCFs)\nTransporting these wastes from RCFs to hazardous waste management facilities (e.g.\, processing\, treatment\, or disposal facilities)\, and storing at in-transit consolidation facilities\n\nMore information: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=F4ADCE577120461BA5B599DDDE1336FC URL:https://cwma.ca/event/hazardous-waste-regulation-for-moderate-risk-waste-update-with-the-moeccs/ LOCATION:Online Via Zoom | Watch for the login details the day before the event CATEGORIES:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cwma.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Moderate-Hazard-Waste-SMALLER.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
