The NRWF conference held at the Defra Innovation Centre on the 7th March 2007 was attended by 54 delegates representing a wide range of organisations. The day consisted of a number of presentations by distinguished speakers:
Dan Cooke, Viridor Geoff McCormick, Alloy Total Product Design Dominic Hogg, Eunomia Consulting Eric Johnson, Atlantic Consulting, Switzerland Cllr Roger Symonds, Local Government Association Phillip Ward, WRAP Claire Mellier, The Environment Council Richard Wilson, Involve Mike Read, Mike Read Associates Mike King, The Environment Council
These presentations covered a wide array of waste prevention issues from the design perspectives to UK policy. The aim was for delegates to leave being aware of up to date information from the NRWF that they can develop and apply within their own organisation. Following these sessions was the opportunity for participation within discussions directed by expert facilitators. These discussions provided interesting feedback on newly published and yet to be published work and ensured that the expert knowledge available within the conference was utilised.
The conference was a success in investigating both how waste prevention policy is developing and the role that the NRWF has had in this, and also in looking forward to the future. In particular Mike Read's presentation spoke of his determination to create a new “network, forum or thing!!” that will develop the work of the NRWF in bringing together organisations from a broader spectrum to address the many difficulties in working towards waste minimisation. Delegates provided Mike with valuable insight into how they would like to see this develop.
We would like to thank all the delegates who attended the conference making it the success it was, and moreover all the members of the NRWF over the years for their support throughout its existence. We look forward to your progression towards a low waste future.
