The eight futuristic, stainless steel-clad digester eggs at Brooklyn’s Newtown Creek wastewater plant are designed to process as much as 1.5 million gallons of waste every day. Join the Urban Green Council at this exciting event to learn more about the eggs, results from the plant’s recently completed food waste pilot program, and the three-year full-scale demonstration project that will be launching there soon. We’ll hear how this project and others will maximize the benefit and use of similar treatment plants in New York, California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
