The threat of large-scale fly-tipping (article by Rob Symons, Operations Director, CRJ Services) Pollution

In 2022/23 there were 42,000 large fly-tipping incidents in England alone. This cost hard-pressed local authorities £13.2 million (compared to £10.7 million the previous year) and created a threat to human health, wildlife habitats and the wider environment.

Rushlight Show

Our plans have come together well for our first fully-virtual Show, including conference streams, exhibition, investor tours and networking.

The virtual platform has been chosen and the dates of the 2 day event in mid-March are now being finalised. The 12th Rushlight Show will include the following:

• Main Cleantech Conference where innovative cleantech companies can have a pre-recorded presentation in the programme. This will be an on-demand stream available throughout the event.

• A live stream of pre-recorded presentations, live panel discussions/ feedback and Q&A

• Investor Lounge (formerly the Investor Tour) which will be a closed access event for companies to do live pitches to a room of investors with immediate feedback

• Networking, specifically scheduled in the programme alongside the exhibition time, with instant video chat in open or closed bubbles, thereby inviting others to join or to enable a private meeting.

• E-posters

The virtual platform has been chosen as it mimics the key elements of our physical event with a number of added benefits, including on demand conference content; session recordings; much greater opportunities to connect with people you are interested in talking to; immediate access to ppt presentations; greater accessibility due to zero travel; expanded programme to facilitate interactions; exhibitor set-up in advance and cheaper rates.

Once again, there will be a strong presence at the event of active cleantech investors and corporate sustainability professionals seeking innovative sustainable solutions to gain strategic advantage, improve efficiencies and catapult their advance towards net zero.
