The conference will address all waste streams: solid waste, hazardous waste, wastewater and air pollution. Focus issues will range from regulatory concerns about greenhouse gas to emerging developments and regulations affecting the disposal, recycling, and reuse of waste and industry byproducts.

Featured speakers from Panasonic Corporate Environmental Department, National Recycling Coalition, U.S. Green Building Council, Solid Waste Management Authority of Central Ohio, Muskingum Iron & Metal, and Merrill Lynch will discuss not only what's happening in Congress and at the administrative agencies, but also how it will affect public and private sector day-to-day operations.
