CIWM President Tim Walker and Early Careers President Charlotte Davies spoke at the Waste Management Europe Exhibition & Conference 2025 in Bologna, Italy.<\/h4>\n

Taking place between 10-12 June, the Waste Management Europe (WME) 2025 Exhibition and Conference connects global experts in waste management, recycling, reuse and circularity.<\/p>\n

WME 2025 says it promotes \u2018cutting-edge thinking in applying innovative solutions to some of the world\u2019s greatest challenges\u2019.<\/p>\n

CIWM President Tim Walker delivered the Keynote Address at the Exhibition on new frameworks for a holistic waste management strategy.<\/p>\n

Walker also spoke on the \u2018Next steps for the waste management sector \u2013 a call to action to policy makers\u2019 session, which identified areas of consensus for priority consideration and action.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Circular Online<\/em>, Walker called the opportunity give the Keynote Address as CIWM President a \u2018great honour\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a focused event specifically looking at resources and waste and, across the three days, there was considerable interest amongst the participants in exploring how circularity could be progressed with several recommendations likely to arise from the conference for the EU \u2013 some may even involve CIWM.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll-in-all, the days were hot, the conference was well attended and packed with great content, there were many questions asked only broken up by superb food and strong coffee \u2013 Italian of course. What better way to see in summer while also showcasing CIWM.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also provided a last hurrah for my Presidential Report Turning Off the Tap<\/a>, which has provided me with much content over the year and allowed me to focus on how the resources and waste sector can talk to and work with others across the value chain to deliver circularity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker\u2019s presidential term ends this week when he will be succeeded by the current CIWM Vice President Dr David Greenfield. Dr Greenfield will be inaugurated as president during a ceremony at the House of Commons on 19 June.<\/p>\n

CIWM Early Careers President Charlotte Davies appeared at WME 2025 as part of a \u2018Fireside Chat\u2019 on developing a new generation of waste management talent.<\/p>\n

\"\"Davies also gave a presentation on advancing progress of the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Europe through circular economy integration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cComing from a UK-based background in resources and waste, it was great to learn from leading projects, campaigns and waste experts in what is being done across Europe, but also globally, to tackle the waste challenge,\u201d Davies told Circular Online<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was also able to share my early career insight and experience from the CIWM\u2019s Early Career team during a fireside chat discussing how to develop a new generation of waste management talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this, we talked at length about the green skills gap and the importance of engagement with schools, universities and incoming talent to reinforce the sectors future and the transition to the circular economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA key takeaway for me is that the circular economy is a long way off, and to truly embrace the transition we need to collaborate with other sectors, change mindsets and prioritise system thinking. I strongly believe the CIWM and CEI along with others, will be key in enabling this.\u201d<\/p>\n
