SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The NJDEP solid waste program underwent a subtle but meaningful rebranding in 2022. Formerly known as the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, it is now known as the Division of Sustainable Waste Management (DSWM) and is housed under the Assistant Commissioner for Air, Energy and Material Sustainability. A noticeable focus on sustainability will characterize the DSWMs 2023 priorities. Moreover, there is some synergy in the reorganization, given that the Air and Solid Waste programs are likely to be the most involved in the new Environmental Justice permitting process.
Speaking at the 21st Annual NJDEP-AWMA Regulatory Update Conference in November, the new Division Director, Janine MacGregor, noted the increased emphasis on sustainability as a consequence of new and pending legislation over the last few years and identified a variety of Division priorities in 2023, including:
DSWM is currently finalizing its Food Waste Reduction Plan and is planning to issue the Plan and proposed regulations on food waste recycling and food waste energy production and composting in early 2023.
