| Description | Redefining waste into resources:
Communications
Engage with "hard to reach" groups and drive behavioural change. Convey major service changes: food waste, alternative weekly collection, compulsory recycling and enforcement policies.
Collection Strategies and End Markets
Have you considered the alternatives to source separated and co-mingled approaches? How secure are the markets for your end products?
Frameworks and Services
Establishing a trade recycling service? Forming a strategic waste partnership? Hear from your peers and streamline your approach.
Big Brand and Retail Buy-In
Recycling rogues or redeemers? How can household brands and major retailers influence consumer behaviour? Hear what Coca Cola Great Britain and ASDA are doing to encourage recycling in the community and build partnerships with local authorities.
Behavioural Change: The Holy Grail
Waste minimisation: identify what is achievable and how you can influence consumption trends.
Redefining waste into resources requires a step-change in both our methods of production and attitudes to consumption.
Facilitating a cultural shift is no easy task: how will you tackle the challenge?
What you hope to achieve this year? What are you struggling with?
From food waste to trade recycling, behavioural change to enforcement policies, LARAC 2008 is designed to address the issues that matter to you.
"We are moving from a position where we dispose of waste to one where we are trying to save resources. This means looking more closely at the systems we put in place, the end markets we feed, our delivery partnerships, and how we communicate with the public on waste issues. I hope this year's event will give us all a greater insight into how we can adjust our thinking away from waste management and towards resource recovery" Lee Marshall, LARAC Chair |
