Measure What Matters: A Pathway to Zero Waste for Businesses

Join Lake WānakaTourism, Wastebusters and QLDC for a workshop on how to develop and implement a waste minimisation plan for your business.  This workshop will offer expert guidance within the Wānaka and Queenstown Lakes context and the solutions available to divert waste away from landfill.  

With insights from local businesses that have successfully reduced their waste-to-landfill and associated costs and following a hands-on practical workshop, you’ll come away with the knowledge, resources and confidence to develop a waste minimisation plan for your business.
