The Solid Waste Association of North America’s (SWANA) Distinguished Individual Achievement Award (DIAA) recognizes success on behalf of individual members for service to their Technical Division and clients for long-term achievements in the solid waste industry.
Michelle Leonard leads Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) at SCS Engineers. Leonard is well-known in the solid waste industry for her guidance helping businesses, educational institutions, and municipalities successfully turn to SMM as a systemic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire life cycles. The methods find new opportunities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources and reduce costs.
Leonard was nominated for the award by Kim Braun, the Environmental Programs & Operations Manager at the Culver City Public Works in California, for her many accomplishments in the last eight years helping California meet some of the most stringent standards in the nation, with tact and innovation.
Ken Notes: Solid waste is the most hidden issue in environmental science. As the worlds population grows what we do with our waste becomes a huge issue. The US could help the rest of the world here but it is not often addressed.
