Arup’s Tim Williams appointed to Board of NSW Circular
26 August 2019
Creating less
waste and developing
a
circular economy are the focus of a new leadership group which
includes Tim Williams,
Arup’s Australasian Cities Leader.
Tim has been appointed to the Board of
NSW Circular which is supported
by the State Government.
He is a respected proponent of healthy and sustainable urban
environments shaped by collaborative design to provide quality services
and opportunities for lifestyle and work.
“As every city’s population grows, so do the problems of consumption and
waste: only by working together can we meet the challenges and create
benefits for people, the
environment and the economy,” Tim said.
“It’s time to disrupt attitudes, processes and
supply chains, and keep
valuable resources in use for as long as possible, rather than making
them landfill. ”
NSW Circular is bringing together industry, the research sector and the
broader community to share knowledge, identify opportunities and help
develop better ways to use - and reuse - resources and cut waste.
“There are already technologies we can scale up and adapt in cities and
regions. But we need to look to systems and capabilities - as well as
understanding and willingness - to create a viable circular economy and
sustainable communities,” he said.
NSW Circular is an initiative of the
NSW Government through the Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer
to activate collaboration between stakeholders, industry, universities
and not for profit groups with the
University of NSW Sydney as Host. The
Board is chaired by Professor Margaret Harding.
Arup supports the United Nations Sustainability Goals, and is committed
to
sustainable design and development, balancing the needs of a growing
world and the finite resources and health of the planet.
