How we work: Seed $ System $ Scale

For project and advisory work, Global Waste Lab uses a staged approach: understand the context, shape a practical model, then strengthen what is ready to grow.

Seed

Listen and learn

Understand the real context: what people need, what already exists, where the risks are, and what change is genuinely possible. Then shape a small, practical next step.

System

Make it workable

Turn early insight into a model that can actually function, connecting people, roles, finance, governance, data, safety, markets and technical choices.

Scale

Strengthen what can grow

Support teams to test, adapt and improve before expanding, so growth strengthens the work instead of stretching it until it breaks.

The result

Waste systems that are practical, resilient and built to keep working long after the project ends.

Experience behind the work

Global evidence

Led major UN waste reports, including Towards Zero Waste and the Global Waste Management Outlook 2024.

Practical project experience

More than 20 years working globally across waste management, circular economy, public service delivery, training and project design.

Tools and training

Creator and contributor to practical waste management tools, including Global Waste Lab Academy, the Flipflopi Toolkit and the Making Waste Work toolkit.

Trusted sector voice

Chartered Waste Manager, CIWM Fellow, ISWA member and mentor, and regular contributor to international waste management conversations.
