Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) Web Academy Webinar: The EPA's Food Recovery Challenge: Be an Endorser!

On this page:


Description:

November 6, 2014, 1:00 - 2:00 pm (EST)

This webinar session highlights Endorsers of the Food Recovery Challenge (FRC). The intent of this webinar is to provide real-life examples of successful FRC Endorsers. How do they go about reaching potential FRC partners with EPA's message? Why did they decide to become an Endorser for the FRC? We hope to inspire current Endorsers and attract additional Endorsers into the program.

We will provide information on updated program requirements. Participants included Wakefern Food Corporation, the largest retailer-owned food cooperative in the United States and Washington State Department of Ecology, the first State Agency nationwide to join as an FRC Endorser.
