We'll be unveiling our newly released Operational Waste Calculator, designed to help you plan weekly waste and determine recycling and waste rates, and launching the Operational Waste Guidelines – the first version of a New Zealand-based guide for sustainable management of operational waste.
Designed to support new buildings to effectively allocate space for waste infrastructure, this calculator aims to maximise waste diversion from landfills throughout the building's lifecycle. This session is an essential opportunity for those in the property and construction sector looking to enhance their sustainability practices. Don't miss it!

Every month we hold our increasingly popular webinar series, which has previously covered issues including construction waste, te reo Māori in the built environment, eco labels, social procurement, wellbeing and healthy buildings, climate change, and much more. We also run regular webinars examining specific products and materials, and their relationship with green building certifications.
Demand for these webinars is increasing as our members ask for a range of themes and topic to build market readiness for the increased focus on carbon and the changes coming through certifications.
