- Waste planning: designing and delivering viable solutions for national and local contexts
- The economics of waste and resource management: essential investment to realise wider socio-economic benefits

Sessions range from Data to decisions and Waste and resource management as climate action at COP31 to Biowaste recovery, treatment and management, and How waste to energy of residual waste supports the circular economy.
