EVENT: Waste Expo 2023 Conference and Tradeshow

Komptech Americas will attend and exhibit at WasteExpo 2023 from May 1–4, 2023, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Join us in booth #3637 throughout the week to learn about Komptech’s material processing solutions for C&D, MSW, single-stream, and organics waste.
WasteExpo, hosted by Waste360 and the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), is the largest trade show in North America for the waste management and recycling industry. The conference and exhibition provide numerous opportunities for waste professionals to gain valuable education, networking and insights into the latest innovations and technologies available to the market. This year’s event will feature over 600 exhibitors and is expected to draw more than 14,000 attendees.
What to Expect at WasteExpo 2023
From Monday, May 1 to Wednesday, May 3, the WasteExpo conference will feature informative sessions spanning eight separate tracks, including Recycling and Landfills, Waste Tech and Innovation, Ops, Fleet and Safety, Food Recovery, and Organics Management. The Komptech Americas team is looking forward to attending the following educational sessions:
- Federal Food Loss and Waste Reduction Initiatives
- Pitch Slam Competition: Discovering Innovation That Shapes the Future
- Seizing an Opportunity: The Rise of MRF Investments
- How Do We Scale the Reuse Economy?
- Waste 360’s TRASHION: A Recycle, Reuse, ReFashion Show
Todd Dunderdale, CCP, will deliver a presentation about creating compost agriculture food production at WasteExpo 2023.
In addition to the tracks mentioned, Komptech America’s Senior Area Sales Manager, Todd Dunderdale, CCP, will deliver a presentation titled “How to Create a Sellable Compost Product for Agriculture Food Production.” Over the past 20 years, Todd has helped implement over 300 equipment solutions into the solid and organics waste market, from industrial waste shredders and screening machines to commercial compost windrow turners and material separation equipment. Todd has witnessed the industry’s evolution first-hand.
Most recently, he has watched compost rapidly gain global acceptance as a proven soil amendment to generate healthier soil, reduce landfill disposal costs and lower pollutants. However, there’s still a long way to go for compost to be considered “standard practice” for large-scale agricultural producers. But why? Join Todd’s presentation to gain insight into this hot topic.
