Food waste depackaging is scaling fast and regulation is scrambling to catch up. BioCycle’s Nora Goldstein and Paula Luu are hosting an hour-long webinar  — BioCycle Investigates: Is Regulation Keeping Up with Depackaging? — on August 25th at 12pm (EST) to walk through new nationwide research on how states are (and aren’t) overseeing depackaging facilities, contamination limits, and the microplastics data gap. 

Invited panelists will explore:

• Current pathways to regulate mechanical food waste depackaging facilities
• Optimizing depackaging equipment to minimize microplastics creation
• Harmonizing need for clean source separated organics streams with generator convenience provided by depackaging
• Creation of standardized, regulator-ready method for measuring microplastics in depackaged food waste and the downstream end products
