## Resource

Lee Marshall, CIWM (host) Prof David Greenfield, CIWM/ CEI In this milestone episode of Beyond Waste, we sit down with Dr. David Greenfield for his first official podcast as President of CIWM. With decades of experience in resources, waste, and circular economy innovation, David shares his ambitions for the year ahead—and why now is the time for bold, joined-up action. We explore the key themes of his Presidential Report 2025, Lost Opportunities?, which calls for urgent change in how the UK captures value from overlooked materials like wool, lithium, and seafood shells. David outlines the need for cross-sector collaboration, smarter design, and policy alignment to transition from linear systems to a truly circular economy. If you're passionate about sustainability, circular thinking, or the future of resource management, this conversation is essential listening.
