Our virtual discussion groups provide an opportunity to share questions, ambitions, challenges, approaches, resources, progress and lessons learnt with other members across the network in an informal and friendly environment.   Our Waste and Circular Economy Discussion Group brings members together to discuss a range of issues relating to waste and resource management. 
 
Areas for discussion include (and are not limited to): 
 
• Understanding environmental the impact of your waste 
• What does a good waste policy look like? 
• How do we introduce sustainable waste policies, prioritise and set targets? 
• How to develop and implement an impactful waste strategy and action plan 
• How does waste connect into and influence the challenge of reducing scope  3 emissions and achieving net zero? 
• Reduce, reuse and recycle measures (including behaviour change) 
• Reduction and elimination of single-use plastics 
• Hard-to-treat waste 
• Zero waste to landfill ambitions 
• Waste contracts and contractors 
• Waste in the supply chain 
• Alternative materials 
• Benchmarking – how is everyone else getting on? 
• Compliance (new rules and regulations) 
• Industry strategy/standards/consultations/guidance 
• Resources, guidance and case studies that can support you 
 
Once you have registered, we will be in touch to identify any specific topics you would like the group to focus on.  Where possible we will identify a suitable guest speaker. 
 
Any member is welcome to attend, regardless of previous experience or knowledge on this topic.  The workshop will be of benefit to all network members, whatever your size and scope of operations/activity.  From organisations just starting off to those already delivering waste policy and strategy there will be lots to share and collaborate on, from identifying collective challenges to learning from other approaches.
