🌿 Top Takeaways from the 2024 NAWM Annual Meeting 🌿 Did you make it to the #NAWM Annual State/Tribal/Federal Coordination Meeting last week? If so, maybe you ran into Ecobot’s Kim Nichols, MBA in a session or out in the field! We're proud to have sponsored this important gathering and knowledge exchange. ICYMI, here are our top takeaways from the meeting: ♦️ The environmental community is already repositioning after last year's Sackett ruling, identifying three key drivers to sustaining and growing our nation's vital wetlands: education, collective action, and policy at the tribe, state, and local levels. ♦️ With much of the Arid West outside of jurisdiction post-Sackett, collaboration, flexibility, and creativity are needed to tackle the complexities of connecting waters and wetlands more effectively, taking historical alterations into account. ♦️ Beavers: Champions of wetland restoration or destroyers of fledgeling mitigation sites? It seems like they came out ahead after Day 3's sessions! Check out #BeaverCON2024 to learn more. Did you encounter a standout topic at the conference? National Association of Wetland Managers

This is just powerful.

Great to be part of a diverse panel at yesterday's letsrecycle.com national conference discussing priorities for the next government for the waste and resources strategy. To summarise my thoughts:- 1) Avoid backsliding with recycling performance - Let's protect good performance where it exists already so we don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. Aluminium packaging is already achieving great recycling rates and beverage cans are at 82% recycling rate; let's not jeopardise that! 2) Injecting some speed, not haste – difficult to support EPR more than conceptually right now, as we don’t know some very important information (like how it’s going to be governed and how much it’s going to cost!). We need detail to be published ASAP so it can be examined, debated and the feedback used to improve things. With a DRS, we need to get on with that urgently, pending my final point… 3) Inspire confidence, set the tone – the Scottish DRS collapse had severe ramifications in the value chain, knocking confidence and undermining trust in these producer responsibility schemes despite industry buy-in. The next government must set their tone and priorities early to de-risk the process for producers and retailers, by working with devolved administrations to clarify the rules and most importantly stick to them so businesses can get on and invest in delivery and making the most of the opportunities. Other members of the panel Anna Willetts John Coates MCIWM Surabhin Chackiath and Peter Jones had some fascinating inputs of their own from their areas of expertise, ably chaired by Hattie Parke FCIWM.
