How to Biowaste Club Playbook

A Biowaste Club (BC) is an institutionalised platform for multi-stakeholder engagement. Members of the Biowaste Club are all local and regional actors along the biowaste value chain, such as waste management companies, research institutions, public authorities, etc. Biowaste Club meetings take place twice per year, set-up (i.e., participants) and formats can vary, depending on the local needs and thus on the agenda.

This manual is designed to support you on how to plan and conduct a Biowaste Club Meeting (BCM) in your lighthouse city or region. Thus, the manual will help you to...

• Understand the overall structure and function of the local Biowaste Clubs;
• Plan and conduct effective stakeholder engagement;
• Grasp what tools can be used to facilitate fruitful exchanges at BCMs;
• Adapt meetings to a virtual setting.

This is a first version of the playbook. The contents will be reviewed throughout the project lifetime, adding new tools and integrating learnings from the different events.

The Playbook is comprised of four main sections:

1. The HOOP Biowaste Club Playbook, including information on the key steps to consider for running successful BCMs
2. Toolbox
3. Digital Toolbox
4. Templates
