Session 1 Integrated
Resource Management |
|
This session
will address the techniques and implementation of a variety of programs
and actions that change waste management into resource management. This
session will first provide a comprehensive review of all technological
aspects of resource management, from upstream to downstream, and include
business sector as well as municipal sector activities. Mostly, this
session will address clean production, cradle to cradle planning, and
product design and EPR. The session will cover several case studies
including Ricoh electronics and their five Rs, Urban Ore and its reuse activities, Vons and
its composting program, and the development of resource recovery
parks. |

Session 2 Organics
Resource Management |
|
Organic
materials comprises 60% or more of what is commonly referred to as MSW,
municipal solid waste. In some states, organics are even banned from
landfilling. In this session, participants will learn about a variety of
issues, the technologies, siting, environmental impacts, and marketing as
it is currently done by many practitioners. |

Session 3 Supply and
Demand |
|
To set up
programs at municipal levels or even at facility levels, it is required
that resource managers have an expert understanding of the facets of
wasting, how discards are generated, how they can be easily categorized
for resource management purposes, and how they can be marketed. In this
dual session, participants will learn about profiling their wasted
resources as a supply for end uses, and learn critical aspects about
markets and market demand, from local development to international
trade. |

Session 4 Moving
Business to Clean Production and the Triple Bottom
Line |
|
This session is
intended to bring participants up to speed with the need to move
businesses to clean production, and to understand and adopt the triple
bottom line as a resource management principle of business. Over 2000
companies in California right now have adopted zero
waste to landfill, and are making money as well as protecting the
environment through clean production and the TBL.

At the end of
the training, participants will be given a short exam and an opportunity
to obtain a Temporary Certificate of Completion in Integrated Resource
Management issued by CRMTI |
