TOPICS
At be Waste Wise, we want to hear what is relevant and interesting for you. Based on your priorities and suggestions, we are bringing together some of the best waste management experts, thought leaders and practitioners to discuss the following four topics:
Have we established new norms owing to the lessons learned from COVID-19? Will refill, loop, and other packaging formats take hold in our supermarkets? Will we drive less or drive better? What lessons can we learn from recycling and waste prevention?
In this webinar, our panelists discuss how do we help consumers make the right decisions and to do better to support their ability to deliver decarbonisation.
