Sustainable Management of Resources and Waste Strategy SIG

Aim

The purpose of this Special Interest Group is to act as a forum for information exchange relating to sustainable resource management and waste strategies within the UK.

Objectives

To achieve its aim the Special Interest Group will:

• Promote debate and discussion on topical specialised issues relating to sustainable resource management and waste strategy.
  
• Work with devolved administrations on sustainable resource management and waste strategies
  
• Liaise with Government departments and other organisations working within the sustainable resource management and waste strategy sector.
  
• Respond where necessary to consultation documents issued by Government and International bodies relating to sustainable resource management and waste strategy.
  
• Provide guidance and specify training requirements for better resource management as part of a process of continuous improvement for resource management professionals.
  
• Co-operate with other CIWM technical and strategic groups and those within the wider industry with regard to information dissemination to avoid duplication of efforts.
  
• Act as a resource of technical expertise to the Chartered Institution in relation to policy, legislation and practice on the subject of sustainable resource management and waste strategy.
  

Steering Committee

The work of the Special Interest Group is coordinated by a steering committee that reports to the CIWM Scientific & Technical Committee.

Membership

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in resource management and waste strategy and related sectors including students and those with "grass roots" practical experience. CIWM membership is not a pre-requisite, although we hope that this will be a natural progression for those interested in keeping up-to-date with information and progression of their career.
