Who can help?
Waste is a resource you have paid for but didn’t use. The cost of disposal is rising fast and the landfill space available to take waste is dwindling. Learn about the trends, alternatives and the drivers of the many changes in waste minimisation and management. Know how to keep your company within the law and ahead of the competition.
Participants who pass the short multiple choice exam receive a CIWM certificate to demonstrate to customers, regulators, and auditors their knowledge and commitment to best practice in sustainable waste management.
