Members may be interested to learn that on 18th March Defra launched a 12 week consultation on the revised Waste Prevention programme for England.
The purpose of this new Waste Prevention Programme is to build on the over-arching framework of the Resources & Waste Strategy with regard to shifting action up the waste hierarchy, setting out a more detailed and specific set of actions with a sectoral dimension. Through this, as well as by explaining the case for change in each sector, Defra intend to encourage action by industry as well as to facilitate action across government departments.
The consultation is open for responses until 10th June and can be found here
