Session summary: In this session we will be hearing about some of the latest
projects and/or advancements that have an impact on the WTE arena. We will
also learn more about efforts that have been undertaken in Florida to develop a

credits instead of landfilling or monofilling. This standing approval is the first of its
kind in the United States.
