CIWM

Celebrate 125 years of waste management successes! Join us as we commemorate the incredible 125-year legacy of The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management. Our special anniversary video takes you through the moments that defined the industry, the people who inspired us, and the milestones that made us who we are today. The waste and resources sector has always existed to provide people with a better cleaner life. While the technologies and methods we use have changed, our goal has not. The industry’s roots date back hundreds of years to the Industrial Revolution. New machinery sped up manufacturing and cities expanded rapidly, but this had an unforeseen consequence: a colossal increase in waste. Despite an uphill battle against opposition to public health legislation and proper waste management, the reformers won and the modern-day waste industry was born. In 1898, the inaugural meeting of CIWM took place in a Manchester pub and paved the way for the next 125 years of waste management. CIWM was born out of necessity 125 years ago but has evolved into the cutting-edge sector we know today. You’re the innovators, problem-solvers, and boundary-pushers who will keep pioneering for years to come. Here’s to the next 125 years! #125YearsStrong #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #NetZero

We would like to welcome the new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Steve Reed, together with his colleagues Ed Miliband (Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero) and Bridget Phillipson (Secretary of State for Education). CIWM is committed to working across government to realise Labour’s manifesto commitment to ‘reduce waste by moving to a circular economy.' Shortly before the election, we published our resources policy blueprint. This contained ten ‘policy asks’ designed to accelerate the transition to a more resource resilient and circular economy, capable of meeting future material demands and supporting the battle against climate change. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this blueprint and establish how CIWM can reinvigorate the pace of policy implementation and support the new government in moving to a world beyond waste.

CIWM welcomes the new Government and looks forward to working with them as we continue our journey to a world beyond waste. We believe our ten policy asks will help support them in delivering on their manifesto promise to commit to a more circular economy. You can find our ten policy asks here: https://lnkd.in/g8HpAUqx
