We will also be joined by guests from local authorities and waste management companies to share their experiences in developing HWRC sites and increasing opportunities for re-use, which have contributed to a range of case studies showcasing good practice.

WRAPs Food Tracker Survey 2024 - England
3 June 2025 10:00 BST
Food Waste Action Week may well be over, but that doesn’t mean our work is done. We need to continue key messages to drive behaviour change throughout the year. Join us to hear the in depth findings from the 2024 Food Tracker Survey (the UK's largest and longest running study of its kind) which focused on food management competencies, behaviours, and levels of skills.
This webinar delves into these insights, helping you to align strategies with current trends, enhance food waste reduction efforts, and meet your sustainability goals. This will help you plan your communication activities to focus on key messages and identify opportunities to help your communities recognise food waste and provide practical solutions to help reduce it. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead with the latest insights and actionable recommendations.

Introduction to the power and potential of the eTEEP tool
03 July 2025 14:00 BST
Simpler Recycling legislation requires local authorities to collect, as a minimum, paper and card separately from other dry recyclables (plastic, metal and glass) unless it is not technically or economically practicable or there is no significant environmental benefit. A written assessment is required where one or more of these apply.
In this session we will provide a demonstration of WRAP's new tool, designed to support Local Authorities with preparation of their written assessments.

Introducing CarbonWARM2
16 July 2025 10:00 BST
CarbonWARM2 is the latest version of the Carbon Waste and Resources Metric developed by WRAP on behalf of Defra. This updated version provides conversion factors that enable organisations to assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with waste management practices, expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It serves as an essential tool for evaluating and improving waste management strategies.
The webinar will run through the aims and objectives of the tool and highlight the updates in this enhanced version. We will also apply it to some real life LA examples to show it in practice.
