Waste Minimisation, Recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility

South African producers now carry extended producer responsibility obligations for packaging, electronics and other waste streams, while businesses everywhere want to send less to landfill. This programme equips delegates to design waste minimisation and recycling programmes and to meet producer responsibility duties. Delegates practise waste characterisation, diversion planning and reporting against scheme requirements.
