39th Environmental Permitting Summer School

Florida has long been one of the nation’s leaders in effective waste management and recycling programs. Florida’s population is anticipated to reach nearly 26 million residents by 2030. How will the State address the waste management demands of these additional residents? Is there sufficient landfill capacity across the State for the decades ahead? Are there other waste management and disposal technologies on the horizon to meet the needs of Florida residents and businesses? How does Florida improve its recycling programs in the face of current technical, regulatory, and market challenges and obstacles to recycling, like contaminated recyclable material and decreased international demand for recyclable materials? Hear this panel of experts address these topics and a wide range of other waste management regulatory issues and forecasts, including industrial solid waste disposal developments and “recycling” of former waste disposal areas into productive land uses.
