Environmental Law and Policy Hack Competition

Inga Caldwell will be a judge at the Environmental Law & Policy Hack on Friday, April 19th.

Reduction and safe management of waste constitutes a traditional focus of modern environmental law. In the United States, core federal statutes—most notably, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act—impose complex requirements designed to prevent waste from contaminating environmental media and to clean it up when it does.

Participants from the two finalist teams will present innovative approaches to spur meaningful reduction in the volume of the household waste stream sent to landfills or for incineration (i.e., not diverted to compost or recycling).

Inga will be joined by Prof. John Dernbach of Widener University, Delaware School of Law, and Jeff Casaletto, In-House Counsel at IWS.

All participating teams will be invited to view the finalist presentations remotely.

The event will take place from 10:00AM – 12:15PM EST.
