Case Statement
from the President

Waste management practices are both time-honored and highly evolutionary.  The organized collection of waste dates back thousands of years, recycling at least hundreds. Yet, awareness of the relationship between wastes and the broader issues of human health and environmental protection is recent -- and powerful. In the past two decades, health and environmental concerns dramatically changed waste management practices.

While today's practices are widely recognized as providing adequate protection of health and the environment, it is also true that serious gaps remain in our understanding of the long-term sustainability of various waste management practices. Economic realities and environmental ideals sometimes clash in waste management. Public attitudes toward wastes and the waste management industry are often problematic, and political pressures for change are never far from the surface.

The foundation exists to address issues such as these and with grants awarded totaling more than $4.4 million, we are well on our way to becoming an important community resource working to develop environmental solutions for the future.

If you believe in our industry as strongly as we do and accept the premise that research leads to greater knowledge, then we hope you will join with us as a donor or through a strategic alliance.

Sincerely,
Michael J. Cagney
