This year’s Leaders’ Panel brings together four people who are shaping change and development in waste to energy on three continents, and who are at different points in the sustainable waste management and waste to energy journey.

Mark Burrows-Smith, CEO, Encyclis
Kevin Bradshaw, CEO, Viridor
Tim Clarke, CEO, Warsan Waste Management Company
Hon. Todd J. McCarthy, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Canada

Driven by rapidly reducing landfill capacity in Ontario, Canada, Hon. Todd J. McCarthy highlights the province’s drive for waste to energy investment.
Tim Clarke, leader of the world’s largest wase to energy plant in Dubai , discusses the region’s landfill diversion strategies and sustainable waste management ambitions.
Mark Burrows-Smith and Kevin Bradshaw examine the current environment for their organisations, the drive to decarbonisation, the hurdles they currently face and the opportunities they see coming down the line.

We ask our panel how they are approaching the issues, the directions they are aiming for, and what they think their sector will look like in ten years' time.
