The pathway is designed to help you understand the ways in which waste can be avoided and how to build new value propositions from waste streams. The objective of this pathway would be to introduce you to innovative value propositions around reducing and/or leveraging waste. The pathway takes a value chain approach to and hence can prove valuable no matter which link in the value chain you are connected with.
