Who are we?
WRAP is an international climate action NGO and our core purpose is to help tackle climate change and protect our planet by changing the way things are produced, consumed and disposed of. We don’t believe that our natural resources should be wasted, everything we use should be re-used and recycled.
If you join us at WRAP – and we think you should – you’ll drive important change and help transform our throwaway economy into one where we eliminate waste, circulate resources, and adopt nature-positive, low carbon, and resource-efficient systems.
Our vision is a thriving world in which climate change is no longer a problem, and you can help us achieve this.

- Work with government officials and key stakeholders to understand and support further developments of the policy and industry landscape across the UK.
- Lead and develop a team of four water specialists.
