Now in their second year, the CIWM Awards for Environmental Excellence will build on the huge success of the 2007 event by acknowledging top achievement across a range of categories and industries.

The awards will again recognise excellence both within the resources and wastes industry, through product design and innovation, and in a range of other commercial sectors including, retail, construction and facilities management, rewarding business and sectors where real gains can be made to protect resources and the environment.

The event will take place on 5th November at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, London and will this year be hosted by television presenter and conservationist, Philippa Forrester.
