In this episode of the MassRecycle Podcast, hosts Waneta Trabert and Gretchen Carey are joined by MassRecycle Board member and former NEWMOA Executive Director Terri Goldberg and Dave Allaway a senior policy analyst in the Materials Management Program at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Together, they explore the importance of comprehensive, carbon-based emissions inventories—highlighting why we must account for the carbon impact of goods beyond state lines. The conversation emphasizes the need for thorough accounting and actionable solutions, focusing on reducing emissions through smarter purchasing choices and consuming less. This topic coincides with the release of the MassRecycle White Paper, A Call to Action on Materials Management & Climate Change, which will be unveiled at the MassRecycle Conference in March 2025.
MASSRECYCLE is a pragmatic, non-partisan, Massachusetts-based, non-profit coalition dedicated to improving sustainable materials management, recycling, and organics reduction and diversion to benefit the climate, economy, communities, and the environment.
