Speaking at the IWM’s annual presidential dinner last night, president Roger Hewitt
said that the two organisations has now concluded talks and had agreed a “draft
memorandum of understanding and how we will relate to each other”.
The president also confirmed that the Institute is still hopeful of gaining chartered
status, although this may not be achieved during his term of office which ends in June.
Separately, the ESA is still engaged in talks with the Energy from Waste
Association which could be absorbed into the ESA. However, whether this will actually
happen is unclear.
On another front, the Institute is thought to be engaged in talks with several
other professional organisations in the environmental sector about the possibility of either an
umbrella organisation to help co-ordinate the work of the institutes and about
obtaining chartered status for environmental professionals in various fields, including waste.
