Zero Waste Scotland, ProCirc and Circular Tayside would like to acknowledge the challenges these past few weeks have been for all of us and the ways we operate.

However, we would also like to highlight the opportunities this step away from the workplace can offer to reflect on the ways we work, what is needed and possible, and what is outdated and endangering for our future.

Join us in this free online Circular Office Workshop on 23.04, 2-4PM, and learn what you can do differently when you return to your offices to decrease your operational waste, cut costs and increase profits. The workshop is designed for senior managers, heads of and directors working in HR, Facilities, Procurement and Sustainability. We will be focusing on:

• Changing how you source, use and dispose of office goods including food, paper, plastic, office furniture, textiles and electronics.

• Influencing employees to change their mindset towards recycling, reusing, commuting and spending habits

• Looking at the design of new offices or refurbishing and repurposing existing buildings

• Building local partnerships with charities, SMEs and other businesses that keep the value of resources going and provides employment
