Keynote: From the Diamond to the Curb – Joe Abernathy, St. Louis Cardinals
In many ways, a Major League Baseball stadium is the perfect testing ground for cutting-edge waste recovery and measurement strategies: Stadium managers control what materials are in use, what collection infrastructure is available, and what messaging is leveraged to inform the audience. With this being the first time the Resource Recycling Conference has come to St. Louis, it's fitting we begin with a keynote from Joe Abernathy of the hometown Cardinals. He'll offer an exclusive look at how the ball club has become a leader in integrating materials recovery with event operations – and how the wider recycling industry can benefit from the lessons learned. Abernathy is the Cardinals' vice president of facility planning and engineering and has worked with the organization since 1995. He also serves on the Stadium Operations Advisory Committee for Major League Baseball, a role in which he spearheads the benchmarking of sustainable operations metrics for all MLB facilities.
