Online Training

Professional development for practitioners in business and government is a vital element in improving product stewardship knowledge, understanding and performance.

The Centre’s eLearning program features modules on a diverse range of topics and themes aimed at informing, educating and activating action.

From introductory training modules on the role and value of product stewardship, through to more specific modules covering collective schemes and individual business initiatives, our eLearning activities will build your knowledge and credentials through a self-paced learning platform.

More information about our eLearning modules can be found here.

Mentoring, Advisory and Research

The Centre provides support and guidance to improve, develop and implement stewardship schemes, by bringing together and making available a panel of expert advisers.

This will include taking on project requests from industry groups, businesses, product supply chains or Government agencies to advise, guide or mentor the development of new product stewardship schemes.

Our support and guidance recognises that product stewardship is equally relevant at the individual company level, and provides the guidance to help make stewardship a real-world business activity with market-friendly outcomes.

Networking

The Centre facilitates strategic networking sessions between organisations across the supply chain and all levels of government on a case-by-case basis. Facilitated sessions and introductions may be one on one meetings, online or face to face workshops or events including webinars or excellence awards.

The purpose of the facilitation is to connect relevant people and organisations involved in developing and implementing product stewardship initiatives so they can share knowledge, learnings, experiences as well as develop solutions to drive better engagement and environmental and social outcomes.

The intent is to be inclusive and foster continual improvement, collaboration, and relationships between organisations with common issues and interests. It is an opportunity for organisations to share achievements with the Centre, contribute to case studies, identify gaps and challenges, as well as research projects that will assist with the developing and implementing product stewardship at an organisational level or as a collective of businesses.

The Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence is an independent, not for profit charity, that seeks to reduce waste generation and create positive environmental and social outcomes through sustainable design, resource conservation, reuse, repair, and recycling. The Centre helps businesses, industries, and product stewardship organisations to adopt a strong lifecycle approach to deliver their ESG and circular economy objectives. We also provide independent advice on product stewardship priorities to the Australian government.
