More than just another webinar, this virtual roundtable series will facilitate opportunities to solve specific materials challenges from Great Lakes businesses that can lead to development of a more circular economy in the region.
In 2019, the value of raw materials within e-waste generated in the US and Canada was estimated to be $14.2 billion USD (Global E-Waste Monitor 2020). As separation technologies improve and end-markets for e-waste derived commodities grow, more and more of that value is being captured by businesses in the Great Lakes region, but a number of hurdles still remain.
On March 16th, we'll explore new opportunities for supply chain collaboration and processing innovation that can help drive stronger end-markets for e-waste derived materials.
Speakers selected from the Materials Marketplace network will present on established and emerging end-market solutions for commodities derived from electronic waste in the Great Lakes Region. Attendees will then join speakers and regional program sponsors in breakout sessions to explore opportunities in the e-waste value chain.
Speakers include:
Scott VanderKooy, President of Comprenew, electronics refurbisher and recycler
Don Haynes, Environmental Manager at Florim, USA on end-markets for CRT glass
Sam Padnos, Commodity Trader and Kari Bliss, Customer Experience & Sustainability Leader at PADNOS on end-markets for non-ferrous metals and plastic housing
If you have processed e-waste derived commodities or end-markets for such materials, this event is for you!
