After nearly six years in the making, New Jersey is likely to pass food waste recycling legislation this week. At least that is the hope of environmental advocates, particularly environmental law attorney Matthew Karmel, who is also the chairman of the advocacy committee for the New Jersey Composting Council.
Karmel is an attorney at the law firm of Riker Danzig Scherer Hyland and Perretti LLP, where he practices environmental law. He also serves on the board of Table to Table, a New Jersey-based food rescue organization.
