Waste Efficiency 101: Streamlining process for nature protection, cost savings and sustainability goals

About this event
Join us for a practical, discussion‑driven training session designed for individuals who want to strengthen their waste‑management knowledge, diversify their service offerings, and identify real operational gaps. Participants will explore the fundamentals of waste efficiency; from defining waste streams to understanding Canada’s legislative landscape, while connecting these concepts to the Circular Economy and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Through guided conversation, real‑world examples, and hands‑on interpretation of waste data, attendees will learn how to build a Waste Management Plan, benchmark performance, and track improvements over time. The session also highlights how waste‑efficiency initiatives protect the environment, reduce costs, and improve organizational sustainability. The training concludes with communication strategies to help participants confidently promote waste programs and engage people in meaningful participation.
