About the Course

This introductory training course explores the waste hierarchy and its five key stages: prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal. Across a series of short sessions, it explains what waste is, why managing it effectively matters, and how individuals and organisations can make practical changes to reduce their environmental impact.
