How do the WasteMINZ sector groups operate?
WasteMINZ has developed terms of reference and operating guidelines to define how sector and technical working groups are formed and operate.
Each sector group operates under the WasteMINZ umbrella, which provides professional support, to help the sector group achieve its goals. The groups represent the technical expertise and knowledge that is WasteMINZ. WasteMINZ staff act as facilitators, empowering each group to achieve their goals, in line with the guidelines.
How are they structured?
Each sector group has a steering committee who guide the work programme. Members of the steering committee represent the sector and are elected to the committee by their peers.
The sector groups are mostly formed to meet specific goals, such as shaping policy, developing industry standards and good practice guidance, developing training and development processes, along with conducting research and development.
