Episode 461
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025

Audio of panel discussion just held at the Zero Waste Summit on 8 September 2025 discussing Tools for Transformation: System Change for a Zero Waste Future. More on the Zero Waste Network is here and worth signing up for their newsletter https://zerowaste.co.nz Panelists: Sue Coutts, Moderator from Zero Waste Network Steven Moe, Parry Field Lawyers Limited Dr Saeid Baroutian, University of Auckland James Griffin, Sustainable Business Network Description of the session: Panel Discussion: Tools for Transformation - System Change for a Zero Waste Future Achieving zero waste requires more than good intentions—it demands deep systems change. In this panel, leaders from business, legal, academic, and innovation spheres come together to explore how their sectors can enable, accelerate, or obstruct a zero waste future. How can business models shift from extraction to regeneration? What legal tools and policies are needed to drive accountability and equity? Where is research shining new light—or holding old assumptions in place? And how can innovation challenge the status quo without reinforcing it? This conversation will surface tensions, opportunities, and cross-sector insights to help us build a more circular, just, and resilient Aotearoa. Thanks Craig Fisher for taking the photo!
