This stage focusses on the strategic drivers of waste prevention at the European, national and local levels. The section also includes guidance on writing a waste prevention plan as well as links to good practice plans.

Stage 3: Implementing and communicating waste prevention

This stage provides guidance on getting to know your audience, understanding their issues and providing effective communications campaigns. The section also includes a guide on building partnerships with key stakeholders to deliver waste prevention.

Stage 4: Monitoring and evaluation

The final stage in delivering waste prevention includes guidance on monitoring and evaluating waste prevention in your local authority.
