Behaviour Change for Waste Reduction in the Workplace

Are you a sustainability professional or green champion working to reduce waste creation in your organisation? Do you get frustrated that bins are always contaminated and no-one seems to do the recycling? Do you need to get the rest of the organisation on board but are struggling with engaging people?  It can be frustrating when you have gone plastic-free, sort all the recycling and yet other people still keep putting a coffee cup in the wrong bin! Applying Behaviour Change principles could help you:

• Understand the barriers and frictions to waste reduction and segregation
• Identify the motivators and levers for change
• Communicating in ways that engage the brain

Join Sustainability and Behaviour Change Consultant, Livvy Drake for this 1.5 hour online workshop, where she will show you how behaviour change principles can transform your energy reduction approach with tools that are not just expensive retrofitting. You will learn about:

• Tried and tested mechanisms used in other workplaces
• Behavioural science frameworks to use as checklists for your ideas and interventions - COM- B Model

This will be an interactive workshop with time for you to apply the concepts to your own energy reduction challenges Recording and slides are available if you can't join live.

About the trainer

Lead Sidekick Livvy Drake has been working with the principles of behaviour change since 2015 when she started working on waste and plastics campaigns.

As a Sustainability practitioner, she identified that fellow sustainability leads and environmentalists were limiting the impact of their work by falling into the traps of assuming awareness raising was enough to drive change, or communicating their own values and drivers and being frustrated when others didn’t respond like they did. Since 2018 Livvy has been delivering online and face-to-face behaviour change training. Clients include: Arla Foods, Chartered Institute of Waste Managers, Travel West, Staffordshire Business and Environment Network), Oxford Instruments Plasma, Bristol Waste, Bachy Solentoche. CWIM Waste workshop “Livvy recently ran a workshop aimed at waste and recycling related behaviours for CIWM (Chartered Institute of Waste Management) and to say it was a valuable is an understatement, her extensive knowledge and thought provoking perspectives on the topic, were insightful and gave everyone plenty to take away and apply.” - Sarah Ottaway - Suez
