Talking Rubbish - Friday 29th April,  2.15pm.

Chaired by Jonathon Porritt in Cheltenham

A high-level policy seminar on waste and the circular economy

The University of Gloucestershire - Park Campus The Park, Cheltenham GL50 2RH

Local campaigners have spent years trying to communicate to Gloucestershire County Council that there are better alternatives to incineration. This is a great opportunity to alert both decision makers and commercial players to the significance of the R4C alternative in the context of wider developments in the UK and beyond - and make sure they understand the serious local implications for the Javelin Park project before construction starts.
 

Speakers are:

• Prestigious environmental consultancy Eunomia
• Circular economy experts Resource Futures
• Community R4C

Topics to be covered will include:

•  long-term implications of today's waste decisions
•  regulatory developments towards a circular economy
•  how councils can move up the waste hierarchy
• how community engagement can help
•  whether incineration creates a barrier
