Waste prevention is at the top of the waste hierarchy, and is now also at the top of the policy agenda as government prepare their national Waste Prevention Programme.

This workshop, organised by CIWM on behalf of Defra and WRAP, aims to showcase recent evidence on how to achieve waste prevention and resource efficiency, and to provide you with an opportunity to update yourself on, and contribute to, government thinking on the forthcoming Waste Prevention Programme for England.

The morning session will focus on recent evidence, with a particular focus on business waste prevention and resource efficiency, but including also a new carbon tool for local authorities. For a report on this tool please click on the 'Further Information Page' link below.

The afternoon will allow every participant to contribute to round-table discussions, with the key issues from each table being put to a high-level panel for further consideration.

The workshop will be of interest and benefit to all those who have a professional interest in waste prevention and resource efficiency, whether that is in business, local authorities, government, civil society organisations, consultancy or academia.
