Waste
Partnerships/Enterprises
Third Reflection
Subject: Waste Management Partnership / Enterprise / Actor
The third paper is a chance to select either a:
Specific actor (for example: Waste Management, Save that Stuff, Wecyclers, Sanergy, Enevo, etc.)
Specific partnership (for example: Casella and the City of Cambridge)
Material Stream
Second Reflection
Subject: Difficult Waste Streams
The goal of this paper is to explore a difficult waste stream by either looking at it through: A specific waste stream and the types of processes / disposal that can be used or evaluating a case study on how a difficult waste stream is disposed in an area.
Difficult wastes are those which can be harmful to human health or the environment, or where the physical properties of the wastes can create serious handling problems.
Waste Technology
First Reflection
Subject: Waste Management Technology
Use this reflection to explore a waste management technology with one of three lenses:
Technologies for a specific material stream - Choose one material and examine the technologies used to process / treat that material
Technology Case Study - Choose three areas (cities, communities, government jurisdiction) and compare the technologies used in the three areas
Specific Technology - Explore a technology in depth, its application, scale of use and considerations for purchase and implementation (like cost, size, etc.)
