Waste Law Research Group

The Waste Law Research Group is a community of Early and Mid Career Researcher academics working on waste law. Set up by Dr Allison Lindner at UCL Faculty of Laws in September 2021 as the Waste Law Reading Group, the group decided in September 2024 that a name change was appropriate to reflect our evolving research project work. The topics we discuss include plastics, global waste flows, steel, mobile phone waste, fashion waste, municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, concrete, the circular economy, ship breaking, and the informal economy.
The Group’s mission is to develop the ECR academic waste law community both within the UK and internationally. We aim to foster rigorous academic debate among ECR academic waste lawyers who would like to think creatively about theoretical, empirical and normative approaches to waste law. We welcome ECR academic waste lawyers and established waste law academics to engage with us.
The group meets once monthly online during term time. We aim to meet in person once a year. Our first in-person writing workshop was hosted by Dr Michael Picard at Edinburgh School of Law in March 2022 and generously funded by the Edinburgh Law School Research and Impact Facilitation Fund. Our second in-person writing workshop was hosted by Dr Allison Lindner at UCL Faculty of Laws in July 2023 and generously funded by the UCL Laws Vice-Dean International Leadership Fund.
