The Future of Local Environment Policy: Working Towards a ‘Zero Waste’ Economy
Wednesday 14th July 2010
The Guoman Charing Cross Hotel, The Strand, London

As part of a series of broader policy pledges, the new coalition Government recently outlined a number of key commitments on climate change and local environment policy in The Coalition: Our Programme for Government. The new Administration seeks to encourage a holistic and sustainable approach to waste prevention, promoting individual responsibility, encouraging partnership working across all sectors and utilising the potential of the third sector.

As the Government sets out its roadmap for change, this special symposium offers a timely opportunity for local authorities, waste management and recycling stakeholders to consider the next steps in working towards a ‘zero waste’ economy. Key themes to be discussed include:

Examine how to remove barriers to recycling and strengthen incentives to reduce waste
Discuss how best to tackle littering and illegal waste activity
Consider how to engage and energise the public and increase awareness of waste prevention
Explore how to minimise food waste, encouraging behavioural change through education
Share innovative and sustainable solutions for recycling and waste prevention
