Haulers heard from their peers as well as local representatives, provided feedback and input into the meeting agendas, and shared their insights. Food Waste Digestion InsightsĪs part of NADA, CET hosted a series of meetings for organic waste haulers across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to get their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities to hauling organic material in the region. CET was selected by the EPA to receive a grant for the NADA project and over the past two years, has worked with government agencies, haulers, food businesses, trade associations, and other entities in New England and the Mid-Atlantic to provide technical assistance, training, and capacity building that will develop and disseminate AD resources. The project types selected for funding included feasibility studies, demonstration projects, as well as technical assistance and training. The EPA program was designed to help reduce food loss and waste and to divert food waste from landfills by expanding anaerobic digestion (AD) capacity in the United States. CET is a national nonprofit organization that helps people and businesses save energy and reduce waste.ĬET was among 12 project proposers selected by EPA in October 2020 to receive grants from a pool of roughly $3 million. The NADA project includes development of resources and training documents for source separation and diversion of commercial and institutional food waste to digesters in the Northeast states.
