Black Country Environmental Challenge in Partnership with Wolverhampton Racecourse, 23.05.2019

Description

SME opportunities to help develop and implement a new green policy at Wolverhampton Racecourse.  This event was aimed at SMEs that may have a technology or service which can help to support specific environmental issues Wolverhampton Racecourse currently face, or are interested in possible waste products for their own business.  SMEs were invited to present their ideas to Wolverhampton Racecourse on how to solve these common environmental issues across their business.  They were looking primarily for waste management companies or those developing environmental technologies as alternatives for the disposal and or recycling of plastic and paper cups, paper napkins, food waste and horse manure.

Other stakeholders and larger companies that might be able to utilise the ideas that the SMEs present were invited.  These businesses could include but not be limited to stadia, hotels, corporate venues, banqueting halls and food manufacturers.

The attendees of the event gained a better understanding of the impact of large stakeholders, such as Wolverhampton Racecourse, on our environment and what the stakeholders are doing to try and reduce their impact.  

SMEs  presented their ideas on how to best combat the environmental issues faced by Wolverhampton Racecourse, i.e. waste food, paper and plastic cups etc.

Attendees had the opportunity for networking with other businesses that are attending or exhibiting to develop business partnerships and new supply chains.

The EnTRESS team were on hand all day to provide information about the support that the project offers to SMEs and how  to apply the solutions discussed at the event to their business or develop new strategies to improve their businesses impact on the environment.
