The lecture will be presented by Dr. Adam Read Chief Sustainability Officer at Suez Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd. Adam is also Director of External Affairs and Communication at Suez and is responsible for central government and stakeholder engagement and liaison across the company’s portfolio of work in the UK – one of the largest resource management companies employing 6000 staff across 300 sites. He can often be heard on the media talking about recycling and was on BBC Radio 4 recently discussing government policy, and its ongoing delays, a theme he has featured on since his PhD discussed sustainable waste management policy delivery in the late 1990s.<br/> <br/> He is currently the 7th most influential person in the Resource Hot 100 survey of the waste sector, and recently was recognised as one of the top 10 environmental influencers in the UK. He is a former President of CIWM (Chartered Institution of Waste Management), sits on the Government’s Green Jobs Delivery Group and chairs numerous industry working groups and think tanks. He will present a wide-ranging talk on the issues surrounding household and commercial waste and its recycling, focusing on plastics in particular.<br/> <br/> He will be discussing:</span></span></span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is becoming more and more important. Sustainability is now a key business concern and at the core of reducing the impacts of your operations is the ability to measure the impacts of what you currently do. You need to do this across all your activities and up and down your supply chains to get a full picture.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This presentation will explain the practicalities of undertaking such studies and cover issues such as:</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">• Defining the scope and deciding to include in the analysis</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">• Sourcing impact data for materials, energy and transportation activities</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">• How to deal with gaps and making assumptions</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">• Presenting the results to stakeholders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It will also identify relevant standard and guidelines that can help you in conducting such assessments as well as how such studies fit into Government Policies and Strategies such as the UK’s Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy (2021).</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Our current lives would be meaningless without numbers, they provide a source of reference that allows us the identify people, time, places and things. Take for instance the printed codes that appear on everyday consumer packaging and labels. These numbers refer to a ‘best before date’ a ‘sell by date’ and often include further detail that identifies a manufacturing site, time of manufacture and other information that provides a source of identification should a product recall be necessary.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Brand Owners have long since used numbers to track and trace goods through the supply chain. In fact, digitisation of the supply chain is a term used to describe the application of technology that provides total product ‘visibility’ of raw material, and its conversion into product from source through final consumption and beyond.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Numbers in the form of product coding also provide surety of provenance and protection against counterfeiting, product diversion and grey market trade.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But what if such coding systems could be simultaneously applied to other business objectives such as sustainability and recycling? Is it possible to combine the disciplines of traceability and provenance with those of environmental concern?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This presentation will reveal how some cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital watermarking, cloud computing and blockchains can leverage on coding technologies to deliver a possible answer to some of the challenges facing the automation of recycling programmes and the establishment of secure deposit return schemes which could lead to a greener life in future for all of us.</span></p>
