CEI webinar: Breaking the ‘ick-factor’, how do circular business models become desirable?  Registrations open - click here! 18th March @ 10:30 GMT (1-hr)	CIWM technical webinar: Build Better or Build Waste? Rethinking Resources in UK Housing  Click here to book! 15th April @ 12:30 BST (1.5 hrs)
Needing to progress economies, manufacturing, and daily living into more circular ways of consuming is essential if we are going to try to limit further destruction to depleting resources, nature, and the rising global temperatures. To shift to these models will require a change in consumer behaviour, but something that seems to be a sticking point in trying to get wider uptake of circular models is the ‘ick factor’ – with the public associating reused and refurbished goods and materials with lower hygiene standards (48%), and questioning their quality (56%), safety (51%) and reliability (49%).    In this session, we will delve into perceptions and behaviours from different countries linked with circular-focused models and second-hand markets. Registrations open - click here to book.	With UK housing stock now valued at £9 trillion and construction output continuing to grow, the scale of material demand in the sector has never been greater. Every housing development represents not only economic value, but embedded carbon, resource intensity and long-term environmental impact.   This technical webinar will examine where meaningful interventions can be made across the housing lifecycle. From early-stage design decisions and procurement models through to interior fit-outs and pre-deconstruction planning, we will explore how resource efficiency can be embedded from the outset rather than retrofitted later.   Part of the ‘Innovating Sector Infrastructures’ technical webinar series.  Registration open - click here to book.
CIWM local authority webinar: New Rules, Real Costs: What’s Changing for Local Authorities   Click here to book. 6th May @ 12:30 (1-hr)	CIWM technical webinar: Why Infrastructure Isn’t Enough: Embedding Behaviour Change at Scale                Click here to book. 20th May @ 12:30 BST (1-hr)
Waste and resource policy is entering a decisive implementation phase — and local authorities are at the forefront of delivery.   From the Emissions Trading Scheme to the Circular Economy Growth Strategy, regulatory developments are reshaping service models, operational costs and material flows. Understanding what is changing — and how it will affect budgets, infrastructure and reporting — is essential to planning with confidence.   This webinar brings together CIWM and sector experts to provide a focused, practical overview of the most significant legislative shifts affecting local authorities. We will cut through policy detail to highlight timelines, financial implications and operational consequences.   Part of the Local Authority Webinar Series: Impacts, Resources and Costs. Registration open - click here to book.	Investment in infrastructure and systems is critical — but without behaviour change, even the best-designed frameworks struggle to deliver meaningful impact.   Prioritising prevention, reuse and resource optimisation requires alignment between operational systems, business models, policy enforcement and public engagement. Behaviour change must be enabled, supported and embedded — not assumed.   This technical webinar will examine how behaviour change can be implemented at scale, drawing on real-world examples where operational reform and behavioural insight have combined to drive measurable outcomes.     Part of the ‘Innovating Sector Infrastructures’ technical webinar series.  Registration open - click here to book.
