One particular example stands out in my mind. At my previous company, new regulations were introduced to restrict the disposal of certain types of materials due to their harmful impact on the environment. As the lead coordinator for waste management, I took charge of developing and implementing an updated waste management plan that aligned with the new regulations. To achieve this, I first researched and analyzed the environmental regulations thoroughly to gain a comprehensive understanding of the changes. I then collaborated with stakeholders, such as government agencies, environmental consultants, and local communities, to gather insights and ensure the plan's compliance.
