Looking back at the recent PREVENT Waste Alliance Networking Event held on April 21, 2024, at the Metropolitain Brasserie in Ottawa, we are thrilled to report a successful gathering with over 100 participants. This event showcased the collaborative efforts of the PREVENT Waste Alliance and the inspiring activities of its member organizations on key issues related to the treaty.

During the evening, participants enjoyed short, focused pitches on innovative approaches to the following topics:

• Reuse solutions
• Global Action Partnership for EPR
• Sustainable finance
• Innovation & digitalization
• Social inclusion & Just Transition
• Small islands & remote coastal areas

These discussions served as a robust foundation for open discussions about the challenges and opportunities in these areas, as well as their implications for the negotiations and post-treaty implementation.

For those interested in further details or who wish to reconnect with the speakers, a full list of the speakers along with their contact information is available below. Additionally, the complete PowerPoint presentation from the event is also accessible for review.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the vibrant discussions. We look forward to continuing our work together to advance the goals discussed at the event.
