Why did you want to join WasteMINZ?
As an Environmental scientist and PhD researcher studying waste management, especially in the New Zealand context, I can further enhance my knowledge and skills. Hence, I joined WasteMINZ to connect with professionals working on contaminated land management and resource recovery. Moreover, my work experience and research skills align with WasteMINZ's mission to build a more sustainable New Zealand. I wanted to engage with the community by working on practical waste minimisation solutions and contributing my scientific expertise to policy discussions. WasteMINZ provides valuable networking opportunities and insights into how academic research translates into industry practice.
