Extension and outreach efforts advancing organics management and waste-to-fuels technologies across Washington state.
This report documents extension, engagement, and technology transfer activities conducted under the Waste to Fuels Technology (WTFT) Partnership during the 2019–2021 biennium. The work focused on strengthening connections across Washington’s organics management sector and promoting adoption of next-generation waste processing technologies.
Efforts included in-person presentations, workshops, advisory committee participation, and technical support to municipal and industry stakeholders involved in composting, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, nutrient recovery, and biorefinery development. Outreach reached an estimated 754 in-person stakeholders and supported over 18,000 views of related online extension materials. Activities emphasized bi-directional communication, helping researchers understand sector priorities while equipping stakeholders with research-based information to inform decision-making.
The partnership also leveraged additional funding and expanded collaboration across the organics value chain, supporting long-term advancement of sustainable materials management and resource recovery in Washington state.
