Our Waste Strategy team are experts on modelling and service change, developing new waste management strategies and contract procurement exercises.
Offering vital support to local authorities and businesses to develop effective and efficient waste and recycling services, our experts utilise extensive insights and in-depth data analysis to deliver independent, evidence-based assessments of kerbside collection schemes and household waste and recycling centres (HWRCs).

The final product allows our customers to interrogate data, analyse and forecast results, and extract insights specific to their business needs. Delivering value and actionable insight for years to come.
Resource Futures compiled insights into local reuse organisations and potential ways of working together to achieve more through reuse. Their report identified and highlighted factors experienced by existing groups which will help us shape initiatives that overcome barriers and explore opportunities.

Working with Resource Futures has unlocked the power of The 2 Minute Foundation’s BEACH CLEAN app data.
We are now able to quantify findings and present powerful evidence to engage stakeholders. The individuals, groups and families taking part are contributing valuable information through citizen science that can be used for better decision making and direct efforts to keep our beaches free from litter.
Resource Futures produced a thorough report, reflecting considerable stakeholder engagement, data collection and analysis.
The effort that has gone into this information gathering has been exceptional given the timing of this project over the pandemic.
The outputs are invaluable and will be used to inform actions which will make a real difference to our marine industries and environment.
