Feb. 24-27, 2008

The Chartwell-Envirobiz Industry Summit is an intensive, two and one half day emergence into solid waste management designed to enhance executives understanding of various key market factors (e.g. crude oil prices) and specific markets (paper, universal waste, etc.). The Summit is an opportunity for attendees to be briefed by and ask questions of many of the nation’s leading experts and waste industry leaders. In addition, it is the only annual opportunity to hear from Chartwell on most recent proprietary research on fundamental market factors like waste generation rates, waste composition, state recycling rates, and gate rate trends.

The WTE facility has the capacity to burn 3,150 ton per day (about one million tons every year). The process can produce up to 75 megawatts (MW) per hour of electricity. It sells about 60 MW to Progress Energy for distribution within the community, and the remainder powers the plant itself. This electricity powers approximately 45,000 homes and businesses every day.

Landfill, Owner: Pinellas County

Less than 15% of the waste Pinellas County produces ends up in its landfill. The remaining 85% is either recycled converted it to energy in the Waste-to-Energy plant. Pinellas County Utilities maintains the only operational municipal solid waste landfill in the county, the Bridgeway Acres Landfill.

Chartwell Solid Waste Digest

Mr. Cary Perket, President

The Envirobiz Group, Inc

• The Historical Roots of Today’s Solid Waste Market “Mega Trends”

Over the past forty years, solid waste management has been shaped by factors that have given rise to niche specialty waste services (e.g. hazardous waste, medical waste), segmentation of individual markets (recycling) and many other changes. To begin the briefing, Chartwell will review the history of the solid waste sector and provide a perspective on today’s waste marketplace “Mega Trends”.

• How Much Solid Waste Is Being Generation? This Fundamental Market Factor Apparently Varies Considerably Across The USA

The most fundamental market factor in solid waste management is just exactly how much waste there is that needs management. Recent Chartwell research found a relatively wide range in municipal solid waste generation rates (tons per capita per year) reported in individual states; this part of the briefing will review those findings and provide an interpretation as to how they reshape our understanding of U.S. market demand.

•  Solid Waste Composition – This Fundamental Market Factor Apparently Also Varies Considerably Across The USA

The second most fundamental market factor is what are the waste’s constituents and what percentage are they of the waste. Along with differences in waste generation rates, Chartwell’s research found that states are reporting significant differences in solid waste composition. Chartwell will discuss its research findings and their potential implications on solid waste management markets.

• Estimated Statewide MSW and C&D Recycling Rates & Goals

The latest Chartwell research effort investigated where recycling efforts are today and states’ recycling goals for the future. Chartwell will summarize where it believes recycling is a significant market factor, where it is clearly not a priority, and points in between. Chartwell will further explore how this all adds up to segmentation of the MSW and C&D market.

• MSW and C&D Land Disposal – Gate Rate Trends

Using 2007 and 2006 research of thousands of landfill gate rates, Chartwell will provide its estimate of the land disposal markets and changes in those markets over the past year and since 2000.

• Specific Mega Trend Focus  - Market Specialization and Segmentation

Chartwell will present its recent observations and current perspective on the development of more specialized services and the role of various segments in the specialty market.
