Waste
The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) announced that David Biderman, SWANA chief executive officer and executive director, has been appointed again to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee (ETTAC), representing waste management and resource management.
Biderman was initially appointed to the committee for a two-year term in 2016 and is thrilled to serve again. As part of ETTAC, Biderman provides important advice to government officials and others on the development and administration of initiatives that expand US exports of environmental technologies, goods, and services. He chaired ETTAC’s Waste Management & Circular Economy subcommittee in 2021–22, which produced important recommendations concerning closing dumpsites, a proposed international plastic pollution prevention treaty, and other waste and recycling issues.
Biderman’s involvement in ETTAC has increased the interactions between government agencies, SWANA, and other companies in the solid waste and recycling industry. SWANA has expanded its international profile in recent years.
