Organisational change depends on societal narratives, which are narratives about the character, history, or envisioned future of societies. Swedish waste governance is a case in point. Swedish waste governance is powered by two main narratives A farewell to landfill and A farewell to wastefulness. A farewell to landfill has been the dominant narrative for several decades, but A farewell to wastefulness gains momentum and a new narrative order is establishing itself. This new narrative order significantly redefines the socio-material status of waste and imposes major changes on waste management organisations. On the basis of the case of waste governance in Sweden, it is concluded that organisations should be aware that societal narrative affects the legitimacy and nature of their operations and therefore integrate a narrative watch in their strategic reflections.
