The National Waste Strategy will help the UK move towards more sustainable waste management practices.  The strategy outlines how the UK can set about decreasing the amount of waste being Land filled and increase the amount being reused and recycled.

The EU Landfill Directive has introduced a requirement for the UK to concentrate at significantly reducing the amount of biodegradable waste that is Land filled over the next 20 years. Biodegradable waste includes items like paper, cardboard, garden waste and food waste.

This section provides information about how you can assist by reducing, reusing, and recycling your waste.

Our free discussion forum is now online. Here you can discuss a wide range of issues and ideas regarding the environment, including waste minimisation and recycling within UK Local Authorities and the private sector. If we are to meet the targets set within the Landfill Directive, Area Waste Plans, WEEE Directive, ELV Directive and the numerous pending environmental challenges we need to do it together by exchange ideas and sharing best practice. We hope this site contributes in some way to meeting the challenges ahead.
