This new course will provide students with an in depth look into the Recycling & Composting Industries and the growing movement of Waste Prevention & Sustainability. The goals of the course are many. Do any of these describe you, your agency or business? Are you:
· Interested in setting up a new program(s) in your region, or improving an existing program(s)?
· A manufacturer, or packing industry professional, wanting to learn more about what qualifies products as recyclable or compostable?
· Interested in working in the Recycling, Composting or Waste Prevention/Sustainability Industry?
· Interested in learning about new trends and technologies in the industry?
There are several different types of recycling/composting programs and technologies to learn about and choose from and each region, and business, has specific needs. The course will provide students with the information they need to determine whether setting up a recycling and/or a composting program is feasible in their areas and if so what program works best for your region. Industry and Technology experts will be speaking throughout the year and will be integral to the program content.
Fall Quarter will cover the latest in organics diversion programs and composting technology in both urban and rural areas. Winter Quarter will cover the programs, technologies, processes and marketing opportunities for both urban and rural recycling programs. Spring Quarter will cover Waste Prevention and Sustainability Programs – because just moving materials from the garbage container to the compost/recycling container is not a long term sustainable solution – overall waste reduction is the key to long term Sustainability.
The non-credit tuition for the new University of Washington Certification Program on The Practice & Policy of Composting, Recycling & Waste Prevention has been reduced to $995.00 per quarter.
The course has also now been approved for credit for Civil &Environmental Engineering Masters Degree Candidates. For those taking the class for credit the tuition is $1,650.00 per quarter.
An informational webinar for the course will be held on Wednesday, September 9, at Noon. For more information, or to sign up for the webinar please visit: http://extension.washington.edu/ext/certificates/ppc/ppc_gen.asp
