The Environmental Research and Education Foundation (EREF) launched its redesigned website on April 8, 2016. The new site comes at a time of growth for the non-profit, whose new and expanded strategic direction for the next five years includes substantially increasing the amount it gives in grants, scholarships and internships. Designed to improve user experience, the website will feature easier navigation thanks to a more in-depth menu featuring drop-down sub-menus and bolder colors which highlight the organization’s four core programs (research grants & projects, continuing education, waste data & reports and scholarship program).
EREF’s extensive collection of resources, such as Continuing Education courses and Internal Research Program, will be more easily accessible through the new website to provide users with one location to meet their needs. Once a user creates an account, they need only log in to download content and register for events. Additionally, the website will introduce a waste industry blog, which will feature updates on EREF happenings and industry news. Users are encouraged to interact and offer feedback using the social media buttons which will now appear at both the top and bottom of each web page. “The goal of EREF is to perpetuate scientific research in the waste industry in order to better the environment and improve public awareness,” said Bryan Staley, EREF’s President and CEO. “Our hope is that this new website can become an easy and direct tool for researchers, industry members and the public to get the information they need.”
