Resource Recovery from Waste Annual Conference 2017
Making the Business Case for Resource Recovery for Business and Government
22 November, Cloth Hall Court, Leeds
Resource Recovery from Waste (RRfW) is a five-year programme of research funded by NERC, ESRC and Defra to develop knowledge and tools to reduce pressure on natural resources and create value from wastes.
The successful implementation of ideas, frameworks and technologies for resource recovery from waste will require the formulation of strong business cases for a variety of actors in industry and government.
