First Reflection
Subject: Waste Management Technology
Use this reflection to explore a waste management technology with one of three lenses:
- Technologies for a specific material stream - Choose one material and examine the technologies used to process / treat that material
- Technology Case Study - Choose three areas (cities, communities, government jurisdiction) and compare the technologies used in the three areas
- Specific Technology - Explore a technology in depth, its application, scale of use and considerations for purchase and implementation (like cost, size, etc.)
Guidelines
- 4–5 pages; 4 pages in writing, more with charts / graphs
- Helvetica size 12, 1.5 spacing or less

Content
- Background of technology and its application
- Detailed analysis and synthesis of researched materials that showcases the secondary sources you used to research a technology
- Propose an actionable outcome from research that either you (the student) or some other actor could move forward
- For example:
- What gaps need to be filled in the existing research in regards to the technology featured in your research?
- What are the limitations of the technology?
- What other innovations (system, technology, policy) could help the technology, material processing or waste management need that you researched?
- For example:
