Description

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MWDA) is a statutory waste disposal authority which, with its District Council partners, takes a lead in advocating and delivering recycling, waste prevention, and the safe and effective disposal of household waste for the residents of Merseyside and Halton (together, the 'Liverpool City Region'). MRWA is committed to achieving the targets of zero waste and net zero carbon, to achieve these targets we believe a whole systems change is needed. This involves changing behaviours and attitudes away from single use, throw away consumerism towards a culture of reuse, repair and avoiding waste where possible. A key aspect of behaviour change is education, and studies show that information delivered academically, culturally and in communities has more benefits and provides long-term changes to behaviours. MWDA is looking to commission an organisation to run a primary school waste education project for pupils aged 5-11 across Liverpool City Region. The education project will focus on engaging with primary aged pupils across the Liverpool City Region to introduce the concept of zero waste, circular economy and climate change to encourage a positive shift in waste and resource behaviours from a young age.
