Preparing for commercial food collections
With changes to mandatory commercial recycling services due to commence in 2025, there is a need for local authorities and community organisations to engage with businesses and get them on board. This webinar looks at how we can navigate the challenges of setting up new recycling collections, find practical ways to reduce food waste and turn food into a positive opportunity for regenerative action.

This webinar shares learnings from our Community Action Groups (CAG) networks, and explores practical ways to increase local sustainable and regenerative activity in your area.

Boosting electrical reuse, repair and recycling
The UK is fast becoming one of the world’s largest contributors to e-waste: to tackle this we need to bring about change at all levels of society. As well as delving into the progress and learnings from our roaming e-waste awareness project Fixy, we’ll be sharing findings from our recent pilot scheme collecting electricals from flats.
Wednesday 5 March
How data can help us understand our waste
With the legislative changes happening across the waste industry, it is critical that we not only understand what data we can collect but also how it can work for us more effectively. We will be covering how data integration can help to map out what the future will look like in terms of composition, quantities and tonnages as well as identifying the gaps that exist within current operations. Join us as we delve in to what data is available – and what can be done with that.
