‘where do we start?’

‘what do we do?’

‘how do we do it?’

We know you don’t need more ambition. You’re trying your darnedest!

What’s missing, though, is a little clarity, structure, and support to make circularity a reality in your organisation.

This might be in the form of understanding a waste stream, designing a pilot, building the right partnerships, securing funding, or communicating impact in a way that builds momentum.

That is where we come in!

“Caitlyn joined us at festivals like Lente Kabinet, Dekmantel, Tomorrowland and Lago Lago to help us sort waste on the ground, run audits and talk trash with festival-goers to encourage better waste habits. She brings good vibes, solid work ethic and a real drive to keep valuable materials out of the bin. Next to that she's always thinking along, providing valuable feedback and posing suggestions to improve the festival's waste management on a broader scale! We love working with her and are stoked to have her as part of the crew whenever she’s around.”

“The Waste Not Spot played a crucial role in the success of the June 2025 Netherlands-to-Canada trade mission, taking the lead on program planning, ensuring a successful presence at the Waste2Resource conference in Ontario, and managing project management and logistics. Their efforts created high-value B2B networking opportunities and ensured smooth coordination across Dutch and Canadian stakeholders. Their leadership helped advance the strategic objectives of the Pre-PPS process and laid a strong foundation for future collaboration."

“We had the pleasure of working together last year on the impact report for the weggeefwinkel, Delen is Helen, in Rotterdam, and [Caitlyn’s] impact assessment made a real difference. [She] helped us translate soft values of the weggeefwinkel into numbers, insights and a story that potential sponsors and supporters could understand. So yes: if anyone is looking for solid, funder-ready impact reporting grounded in circular thinking, I can highly recommend working with her.”
— Karola van Rooyen (Delen is Helen WegGeefWinkel), The Netherlands
“Caitlyn delivered an inspiring and highly practical workshop at the Regenera Travel Summit 2025. Her approach to regenerating nature through cleanups and waste audits beautifully connects data, community engagement, and regenerative tourism. Caitlyn’s passion and expertise empower destinations and travel professionals with tangible tools to create real environmental impact. I highly recommend her workshops and professional services to any organization or event looking to drive meaningful sustainability impact!”
