Environmental managers in the poultry and egg industry face increasing pressure to meet regulatory demands while advancing sustainability and operational efficiency. The US Poultry & Egg Association's 2025 Environmental Management Seminar, taking place Sept. 18–19 at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa in Destin, Fla., will offer practical insights and forward-thinking strategies to help navigate today’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Attendees will gain expert guidance on regulatory updates, water reuse, dissolved air flotation chemistry and optimization opportunities, sustainable operational practices, a panel discussing environmental staff development ideas and more. The seminar will also feature the announcement of the 2025 Clean Water Award winners, along with a virtual tour of their facilities.

“This seminar provides a critical opportunity to improve environmental quality while maintaining strong operations,” said Stephen James, Pilgrim’s, and planning committee chair.

The 2025 planning committee comprises James; Michele Boney, West Liberty Foods; Jonathan Green, Mar-Jac Poultry; Dwayne Holifield, Wayne-Sanderson Farms; Bill Knapke, Cooper Farms; Joe Miller, Rose Acre Farms; and Alex Sullivan, Fieldale Farms Corp.
