Planit-Waste learning simulation
 

Planit-WASTE learning simulation looks at waste in terms of the big picture. Waste is not simply a technical or an economic problem. It cannot be isolated from social problems and certainly not environmental issues.

Planit-WASTE models a county with three districts, all with different socio-economic, environmental and waste profiles. The learning simulation is played by five teams, who are judged on sustainability, recycling targets, landfill allowances, waste arisings and viability.

Planit-WASTE has been used in three regions (including in the West Midlands) to bring partnerships together and to consider waste in sustainable terms.

Applications/Outcomes:
 

• Improve the understanding of the growing waste problem.
• Improve the understanding of the Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS) and waste technologies.
• Considering diversion (from landfill) versus trading strategies.
• Ensure that waste management is thought of in sustainable terms.
• Improve decision-making and problem solving in waste management issues.
• Encourage a partnership approach to tackling waste management issues.

Audience
 

• Local Authority Officers.
• Local Authority Members.
• Managers and Decision Makers.
• Individuals involved in procurement.
• Individuals involved in waste partnerships.
• Individuals who work in the waste industries.
