Our Own Wayne Koeckeritz Will Speak at US Composting Council’s Workshop

The US Composting Council is hosting a virtual conference on compostable products this summer. The series is designed to educate composters on compostable products, share best practices on how to manage compostables and reduce contamination, provide tools, and discuss the pros and cons of accepting compostable packaging.

Our Product & Zero Waste Specialist (PZWS) in the Southern region, Wayne Koeckeritz, will be presenting at the conference. As a PZWS, his role is to help implement Zero Waste programs, conduct waste audits and analysis, provide product information, connect haulers and composters with end users, and support expansion of commercial composting infrastructure.
