Our Discussion Groups provide an opportunity to share learning, progress, challenges and questions with other members across the network who are on the same journey.

Areas for discussion include (and are not limited to):

o What does a good waste policy look like?

o How to develop and implement an impactful waste strategy

o Reduce, reuse and recycle measures (including behaviour change)

o Reduction and elimination of single-use plastics

o Hard-to-treat waste

o Zero waste to landfill ambitions

o Waste and behaviour change

o Benchmarking – how is everyone else getting on?

o Waste contracts and contractors

o Waste in the supply chain

o Alternative materials

o Waste and net zero (waste and scope 3 emissions)

o Government strategy/standards/consultations

o Resources, guidance and case studies

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.

After a group Q&A, the Fit for the Future team will lead you in smaller groups for you to share challenges, approaches, resources/tools used and lessons learnt.

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.
