Michigan’s Recycling Evolution – Progress, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
Tina Dekker, Meijer Senior VP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary
TINA DEKKER
In 1970, Fred Meijer gave a speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan to promote environmental stewardship on the first-ever Earth Day. In the following year, Fred oversaw a test of Meijer’s first glass recycling program and, during the 1970s, spearheaded the launch of company-wide programs for recycling, energy, and waste reduction. Since then, the company’s environmental stewardship program has evolved to focus on four primary pillars: reducing carbon emissions, reducing and diverting food waste from disposal, supporting the circular economy, and serving as stewards of the Great Lakes. Meijer Senior Vice President and General Counsel Tina Dekker will expand on the organization’s past, present, and future initiatives to support the environment in the Great Lakes region and beyond.
Tina Dekker is Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary at Meijer, overseeing the legal and compliance functions covering all aspects of the privately-held retail company including corporate operations, retail stores, distribution facilities, and manufacturing operations.

Clarifying Opportunities for Food Waste Recovery
Emily Sisk & Logan Applebee, HDR
Jelili Adebiyi, Northern Michigan University
Diverting food waste from landfills is an ongoing challenge at all levels. HDR recently prepared statewide food waste prevention and management studies for Iowa and Wisconsin which explore disposal alternatives for food waste. These Midwest states have different infrastructure, regulations, collection systems, and political climates that require unique approaches to food waste reduction efforts. However, they will explore key findings from the studies, the “why” behind different methodologies used, recommendations made, and how to customize approaches that are reflective of differing community needs. Using data from household and restaurant waste streams and observed recycling behaviors, see practical ways to prevent waste and expand compost-diversion services that are grounded in and responsive to community needs in Michigan‘s U.P. See evidence-based behavioral nudges, targeted education strategies, and program design approaches that can reduce food waste at the source while strengthening the region’s composting business sector.
