The Basics of Waste and the Circular Economy

Cost: Free

This session will explore the principles of the circular economy, waste prevention and resource efficiency.

We will discuss Queen's ambitions in this area and how suppliers can support these objectives through more sustainable products, services and operating models.

At Queen's University Belfast, we recognise that achieving our sustainability ambitions requires collaboration across our entire supply chain. Whether you are an existing supplier or interested in working with Queen's in the future, you have an important role to play in helping us build a more responsible and resilient supply chain. 

We are launching a series of practical online webinars designed to support SME suppliers in understanding sustainability challenges, responding to evolving customer expectations, and identifying opportunities to strengthen their own business practices. 

The programme will provide guidance, tools and resources across three key themes: Carbon and Climate Action, Modern Slavery and Labour Exploitation, and Waste and the Circular Economy. 

Your participation will help you to prepare for future tendering opportunities with Queen’s, as sustainability forms an increasingly important part of our procurement process.

We look forward to working with you to build a more responsible and resilient supply chain that delivers lasting environmental, social and economic value. 

All sessions will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. Calendar invitations and joining instructions will be issued by our delivery partner, Action Sustainability, to those who have registered their interest.

Terms for individual events will appear on the event booking and information page.
