The United Kingdom generates over 200 million tonnes of waste per year, but the data gathered about what exactly is generated is currently limited. During this webinar we reviewed how the GovTech Catalyst initiative, supported by all four UK government and regulators, is enabling the development of digital waste tracking to support the advancement of better quality data to show where interventions need to be made, opening the doors to a more circular waste economy. Attendees gained: - An overview of the GovTech Smart Waste Tracking Challenge; - Insight from the organisations leading the two winning projects; - A better understanding of the sustainability benefits of this transition to digital waste management. Speakers: Alistair Paul, Waste Regulation & Crime Team, DEFRA; Simone Aplin, Technical Director, Anthesis; Michael Groves, Founder, Topolytics.
