Tuesday, July 28 1-2PM ET via Zoom – Description: One important component of transforming the Ohio River Valley of Appalachia into a hub for sustainable manufacturing, under the Appalachian Manufacturing Action Plan, involves changing the way we do manufacturing to promote reuse of materials that would otherwise be wasted. Join ReImagine Appalachia, the Central Appalachian Network and the Appalachian Re-Use Working Group to discuss one innovative approach to tackling the bigger issue: the founding of a recycling co-op in Fayetteville WV, its challenges and successes, funding sources and its newest grant for glass crushing. Learn also about Fairfax County, Ohio and its perspective on turning glass recycling into sand.
Speakers:
- Chris Sefkin from Bud’s Recycling
- Catherine Torgersen from Fairfax County, VA Department of Public Works & Environmental Services
