Reworld™ Participates in Larry Swanson’s Third Long Island Environmental Symposium

Reworld™, a leader in sustainable waste solutions, recently participated in the Larry Swanson Long Island Environmental Symposium, held at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood Campus. The event was presented by the Evan R. Liblit Memorial Scholarship Committee in collaboration with Suffolk County Executive Edward Romaine and Michael White of Stony Brook University’s Waste Reduction and Management Institute.

“Each year, Reworld™ is proud to support the Evan R. Liblit Memorial Fund, which reflects our deep commitment to cultivating the next generation of environmental leaders,” said Maureen Early, Lead Community Relations Specialist at Reworld™. “It is an honor to help carry forward Evan’s legacy by supporting students who share his vision for a more sustainable future, and by sponsoring important forums like this one that drive meaningful conversations and solutions.”

This year’s symposium, themed “Solid Waste Initiatives on Long Island,” brought together municipal leaders and environmental experts to explore pressing issues in waste management. Key topics included regional solid waste planning, the critical role of waste-to-energy facilities in managing Long Island’s waste stream, glass recycling infrastructure and strategies for removing organics such as food scraps from the waste stream.

Since its inception, the Memorial Fund has awarded scholarships to nearly 60 undergraduate and graduate students, enabling them to pursue innovative research in waste reduction, pollution prevention, and sustainable resource management.
