Less than two weeks to enter our Resource Revolution Awards!

There are less than two weeks to go to enter the Resource Revolution Awards 2013, the newest and most relevant awards scheme out there for those delivering transformational resource management solutions.


Hosted by edie and sister title Local Authority Waste & Recycling (LAWR), the awards form part of a wider Resource Revolution campaign, which has already attracted an unprecedented amount of interest.

Supported by leading industry bodies including WRAP, EEF the Manufacturers’ Organisation, the Green Alliance, ESA and the RSA’s Great Recovery Project, there are six categories to play for and entrants should not delay in putting themselves forward.

Technology Trailblazer: Materials Recovery – this award will recognise a technology-led project which is achieving outstanding material recycling or reprocessing rates while maintaining the highest levels of quality.

Technology Trailblazer: Energy-from-Waste – this award will recognise a technology-led project which is generating maximum energetic conversion efficiency from the waste it is processing through clean-tech innovation.

Waste Collection Logistics Leader – this award seeks to recognise a waste collection strategy that is delivering exceptional efficiencies in fleet, fuel and logistics while materials are in transit.

Landfill Diversion Strategy – this award seeks to recognise a company, local authority, waste partnership or consortium that has exceeded its targets and surpassed all expectations in diverting waste from landfill over the past 12 months.

Closed Loop Exemplar – this award seeks to recognise a game-changing closed loop initiative, partnership or collaboration which is reducing demand for virgin materials or dynamically linking renewable energy supply and consumption.

Beyond Zero Waste Achievement – this award seeks to recognise a pioneering initiative that is centred on more holistic thinking and takes account of the whole lifecycle of waste and minimising its environmental impact, from start-of-life to end-of-life.

The awards event itself will be held in central London in May 2013. To enter, go to www.resourcerevolution.net/awards. Deadline for entries is 15 February 2013.
