Waste Regulation Webinars
Embrace the upcoming legislative changes in Wales that will mandate all workplaces, including businesses, public bodies, and the third sector, to separate recyclable materials from general waste. To assist your organisation in seamlessly transitioning, we’re pleased to announce a series of sector-specific webinars.
Feel free to attend as many webinars as you find relevant to your business, as some may overlap. The valuable insights from guest speakers sharing their experiences in implementing separate collections in their premises will offer practical guidance.
Webinar Recordings: Can’t make it to a live session? No worries! All webinar recordings will be accessible on the Business of Recycling Wales website in early February.
