Tackling Waste to Improve the Bottom Line at RWM 2010

As commercial, legislative and environmental pressures combine, today’s facilities managers have a key role to play in driving and managing change towards a more sustainable future. Keeping apace or ahead of developments in recycling and waste management is a continual challenge, but one annual event gathers everything you need under one roof. The Recycling & Waste Management Exhibition (RWM 10) at the Birmingham NEC from 14 to 16 September 2010 features over 500 exhibiting companies, 40 free seminar sessions, and a new networking zone.

In 2009 landfill tax went up 25% from £32 to £40 per tonne and is set to go up by a further £8 per tonne every year until 2013. So unless you recycle 100% of your waste, it will affect your bottom line. Understanding the latest regulations and keeping up to date with new technologies is vital.

RWM 10 exhibition will provide you with a host of new contacts from specialist consultants and waste management companies to recyclers of a wide range of materials and suppliers of waste and recycling bins, shredders and compacters. Also exhibiting are compliance companies, consultants and waste management contractors who can advise you of your legal obligations.

For the first time ever visitors can also gain practical advice about managing their resources more efficiently and cutting waste at the exhibition's Waste Minimisation seminar theatre and drop-in surgery.

Resource efficiency will also be a key theme within this year's seminar theatres offering examples of how both the public and private sector have reduced waste to landfill.
