Metro Dialogue: Waste Prevention and Reduction – Jun 26
For the waste sector worldwide, cooperation and collaboration by multiple stakeholders – local, regional and provincial governments, the private sector, and non-profit organizations – is critical, particularly with a growing focus on waste prevention and reduction. And the task is complex, with reduction, recycling, reuse, composting, deconstruction, extended product stewardship, waste disposal, and effective management of solid waste facilities all playing key roles, while simultaneously requiring significant coordination among many industry participants.Join us to hear experts representing Denmark, Metro Vancouver, and coastal British Columbia jurisdictions explain how they work across sectors to ensure the best approaches for preventing and managing waste.
