Rethink Sessions
We heard your feedback regarding issues with watching on YouTube using work accounts, so we're bringing the Rethink Sessions back to Microsoft Teams!
Rethink Sessions are a series of daily webinars running throughout Recycling Week, featuring people with practical experience across waste minimisation, recycling, and sustainability.
Each session is an opportunity to hear a different perspective, pick up practical ideas and rethink how we approach waste.
