Description

This talk outlines the requirement and challenges of eliminating waste and establishing a Circular Economy, plus proposes and demonstrates how the application of existing improvement methodologies and tools can be used to facilitate this revolution.

It explains how the waste recycling and recovery industry operates in the UK and is changing, as it supports our collective journey in establishing a comprehensive and sustainable economic model which banishes waste.
