The RCRA Legacy: 50 Years of Waste Regulation

The Waste Dive Editorial Team invites you to an exclusive live event, where we're offering key readers a behind-the-scenes look at how our RCRA coverage has come together and an opportunity for a live Q&A with the team.  

When the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act became law in 1976, it fundamentally changed how the U.S. approached solid and hazardous waste.

Now, 50 years later, we're offering an exclusive opportunity to our most engaged readers to explore the impact of RCRA regulations with our editorial team here at Waste Dive.

Waste Dive's journalists are taking a closer look at what the landmark law actually changed — and what challenges remain. Drawing on conversations with dozens of experts and extensive archival research, the Waste Dive team will share insights from our coverage examining RCRA's lasting impact on the industry.

During this live event, you'll get an inside look at the reporting and have the opportunity to ask your questions directly.

What we'll explore:

• Did RCRA achieve its original goals?
• What's next for landfill post-closure management?
• How has RCRA changed industrial waste management?
• What emerging material streams could be next for RCRA regulation?
