E-waste, or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is the planet’s fastest-growing waste stream. 
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) an estimated two million tonnes of electrical items are discarded by householders and companies in the UK each year. 

Sustainability experts have issued an urgent call for a ‘seismic cultural shift’ towards reuse to solve the growing waste and pollution crisis. A BRITA UK paper shows the myriad of environmental and economic benefits that implementing a reuse culture across society could bring. 

A newsletter is a brilliant way to build trust with the right people, get them involved with your reuse project, and spread the word.

Whether you want staff to adopt reuse and sustainability practices, improve the image of your department, demonstrate procurement value, or shout about your reuse achievements, cultivating an authentic connection using a regular, well-produced newsletter can help you communicate your key messages to the right people. 

Below we explain how to get started with a newsletter, and how it can help reach your behaviour change, culture change, and influence targets.

As a free download at the end you'll get:

• 16 top tips. Don't make the mistakes we did.
• Newsletter strategy plan. Understand where you are going and how to get there.
• Newsletter action plan. Each time you do a newsletter use this action plan to help.

Why bother?

You're probably trying to bring change within your organisation, encourage reuse, and share details of your project successes, and how to get involved. You want to make things better, improve processes, and make your organisation more sustainable.

To do that you need to communicate your objectives in a palatable, persuasive way on a regular basis to as many relevant people as possible. 

People are positively influenced by other people that they know and trust. We have talked about this in the past.

A newsletter is a brilliant way to target your reuse messages and calls to action to those that matter, and cut through the noise of other news from your organisation. If you do it right, it'll require minimum time input for maximum impact.  

Spring is just around the corner...can you feel it yet?? No...hmmm

Well the period is almost upon us! It will soon be time to open up the windows, let the cool breeze in and feel the sun on your skin. It’s nice, right? Do you know what else is nice? Having a working space and environment that is clean and tidy and makes you super happy to be at work!

Sometimes you do not find a match for your surplus assets internally or even within the community. But you do not want to send those assets to landfill. 

You work in a massive organisation with loads of staff. Have you ever thought that your staff might want to take away your surplus assets?

If you did receive a certificate, you’ll know what we are talking about, and if you didn’t, you might be asking ‘Hey! Where’s mine?’.

Cascade a memo via staff meeting networks

This is such an easy win but so effective!!

Things are not always perfect - how could they be?

Life is not perfect, but it still provides the opportunity to use processes that can make things better. So, despite things not going well right now, the potential for success remains, and we want to give you some ideas about how to turn your reuse project around…

You have been working all day , your boss is asking for an update, you need to submit a committee report, things are stressful.

I am assuming you are here because you are interested to see how reuse can improve processes at your place of work.

For me there are two main benefits to webinars...

1) Freedom from the office

Wouldn't it be great to get out for a bit and still be moving your objectives forward? This is where webinars can really shine. Because we are all more mobile and contactable you can learn on the go with a webinar.

2) Better quicker easier collaboration

Delivering any project at work involves cross-departmental collaboration. If for example you are rolling out a reuse project,  there are many actors in this play, including Sustainability, Waste, Procurement, Capital Development, Space Management, Logistics and Storage.
