Webinar – Maine’s Waste Characterization Study

Unlocking Insights from Maine’s New Statewide Waste Characterization Study

September 15th at 12:00pm

Join us for a deep dive into the Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s latest comprehensive waste characterization study. Funded by the EPA’s SWIFR grant program and conducted by MSW Consultants, this report provides the first detailed baseline of the state’s waste stream composition, offering critical data to drive effective waste prevention and diversion strategies.

In this session, we’ll explore how these insights will support progress with managing materials in alignment with Maine’s food recovery and solid waste management hierarchies and support the development of the 2029 Materials Management Plan. Learn about the rigorous methodology used—from disposal facility gate surveys to seasonal sampling—and discover how municipalities and businesses can leverage this data to measure progress and optimize their sustainability efforts.

Perfect for waste managers, policymakers, environmental consultants, and community leaders committed to advancing circular economy practices in Maine.
