Wednesday, August 31, 1pm ET -Reimagining Recycling: How Tech Innovation is Increasing Landfill Diversion and Driving Circularity
Technology is playing a key role in supporting the advancement of recycling in North America and beyond. AI-powered computer vision systems are creating a more holistic view of where material is moving, and most importantly, what’s in it. AI and better data capture are helping consumer packaged goods companies, retailers, and manufacturers understand the flow and recovery of their specific containers and packaging; such innovations are reducing contamination and supporting producer initiatives to increase recycling rates, including for problematic materials like film and flexibles, and create new value streams for recyclables. Data collection, measurement, and material characterization for recycling also create a mechanism to support Extended Producer Responsibility schemes and other government initiatives focused on landfill diversion goals and recycled content standards, helping to advance a more circular economy for valuable commodities.

Tuesday, September 13, 3:30pm ET - Fixing Outmoded Election Laws for Business and the Economy | Register here

Due to loopholes in poorly written election laws, including the Failed Election Law of 1845 and the Electoral Count Act of 1887, there is a real risk that two candidates could claim the presidency, that Congress would be unable to make a determination, and a constitutional crisis would ensue. The Electoral Count Reform Reform Act (ECRA) has been introduced by a bipartisan group of senators. We need the business community to step up and support their efforts before the 2022 elections so that we can avoid the potential risk to our government and economy in 2024.
