The Waste Revolution Seminar Series will explore ways in which various industries can work towards a more sustainable way of managing their waste products. These one day events will bring together thought leaders and key industry players to present and discuss the latest waste management strategies.
Waste Revolution Handbook
Waste generation is a perfect example of how market forces are hugely impacting on our environment. Disposing of something costs very little or nothing and as a result we have created waste streams and products that are easily disposable.
However if the real cost of waste was actually borne by the generator of the waste thereby dramatically increasing the cost of disposal, the system would evolve to ultimately create less waste in order to minimise costs.
Such interventions are more accessible than we think and markets are adapting to extract profits from these changes - the evolution of the ‘waste system’ is actually upon us.
The Waste Revolution Handbook is the definitive guide to the issues and solutions relating to the disposal and complete reduction of waste in South Africa. With contributions from thought leaders and key waste sector stakeholders, the Waste Revolution Handbook provides industry and government decision makers with the information that they require in order to make significant progress with the waste solutions that have an impact on their companies, products or objectives.
The market has already adjusted to reward companies for progress that they are making with waste and beyond the returns on investment in this regard, there exist returns that are equally as valuable – those associated with company image, brand equity and public relations. Almost every company or organisation can benefit from a waster intervention of some sort and taking a first step is as easy as making the commitment.
