Become a Member of CRRA
The California Resource Recovery Association (CRRA) is the 500 member environmentally focused professional orgaization for people involved in resource conservation through extended producer responsibility and waste prevention, reuse, recycling and composting activities. CRRA members use their collective knowledge and experience to create and implement innovative solutions and programs to reduce materials going to landfill so to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and water and air pollution. CRRA provides opportunities for networking, sharing, sharing ideas, in-depth discussion and training for its members. For further information about our organization, please visit www.crra.com.
Join CRRA's Technical Councils:
The California Organics Recycling Council (CORC) represents a coalition of organics recyclers, including collectors, processors, end users, and local governments. CORC supports the development of an organics infrastructure for increasing susatinable and diverse end markets, through policy leadership and education. CORC provides educational workshops, expert testimony and comments on legislation and regulations, and is a resource for organic materials recycling programs.
The Global Warming Recyclers Council (RGWC) is CRRA's spearhead organization to focus on greenhouse gas reduction efforts. This Council is charged to work with other organizations wanting to form a coalition addressing the role reducing, reusing, recycling and composting discarded materials can play in reducing greenhouse gases. They aim to inform the state's climate change policy makers of the major role that composting can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Join the CRRA Board of Director's Policy Committee where committee members meet monthly to discuss legislation and policy and recommend poistions and language to the CRRA Board of Directors. Here is a list of the letters written and positions taken on legislation by CRRA this year. Here is the process to join.
Attend CRRA's Annual Conference, August 8 - 11, 2010 in Sacramanto where composting and Anaerobic Digestion are sure to be on the menu of sessions.
Take the opportunity to join fellow CRRA members and further the dialogue in this community that will lead us to a more sustainable future.
Get More information about the California Action Reserve
The Climate Action Reserve, the leading standard for carbon offset projects in North America, has adopted a new protocol for crediting avoided methane emissions through Organic Waste Digestion projects. It provides a standardized approach for quantifying, monitoring and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from organic waste diversion projects. Instead of organic waste being buried in landfills, where it will produce and emit methane, is diverted into anaerobic digesters. These projects cover the digestion (or co-digestion) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) food waste and certain agro-industrial wastewater sources. While it excludes crediting for the digestion of municipal wastewater, existing facilities may be used to digest new, eligiblle feedstocks. For example, and municipality with unused capacity in the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) digester may begin adding MSW food waste to generate carbon offset credits.
More information about these projects may be found at the Climate Action Reserve website.
