Founded in 1997, Wasteaware’s primary goal is to share innovative approaches to waste and resources management.
Wasteaware Ltd is a not for profit ‘company limited by guarantee’ based in the UK and working throughout the world, focusing on:
Policy advocacy.
Methodologies and tools.
Knowledge and skills transfer.
Publications.
The waste management sector is transforming. Media focus on the issues surrounding ‘waste’ has sharpened considerably over the last years. Finally, it seems that the world has woken upto the fact that increasing rates of waste generation are a serious concern, and improper or ineffective management has consequences on a global scale.
Wasteaware helps people to better understand the causes and symptoms of ‘waste’. We have worked quietly behind the scenes for many years in policy advocacy, programme financing and development and dissemination of methods and tools.
Management team
Wasteaware has three experienced international waste management practitioners at the helm – Andy, Brian and Jo. We each have particular interests, experience and skills. We are in an innovative frame of mind, formulating programmes looking towards the next decade of development practice; and are building a team to turn our vision into reality.
Beyond management
Our team is growing and adapting to the realities of the dynamic global waste and resource management sector. We have team members and associate members based in the UK, Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, France, Cyprus and Kenya. Our colleagues in the RWA Group are also on hand to provide additional support and skill sets where and when required to ensure our work is of the best possible standard.
