Recycling for the Future Thursday 24th November 2011 Steve Lee – CEO Chartered Institution of Wastes Management
The CIWM Vision “A world where: • Resources are kept working • Wastes are put back to work • Residues are carefully disposed of”.
It is only a “policy review”.... • CIWM: 30p evidence • But...its NOT a strategy • National waste plan (2012) • Finance no-go area • Planning no-go area • NOT the Energy Review • General de-regulation climate • NOTHING trumps overcoming the national defecit
CIWM: A Luke Warm Response • CIWM recognises Defra's commitment to broaden waste policy into the wider realms of resource efficiency. However, there is nothing radical or new in the document. • What this review doesn't do...is identify how England will aspire to become a thought leader and top performer in sustainable waste and resource management
“Hot” • Broad objectives – well beyond “waste” • Recognition of roles of technologies • Planning guidance / need • Responsibility schemes • Carbon metric • AD strategy • No radical change supports continuity
“Cold” • “waste” policy review • No interim or ambitious targets • Weak on data • Not enough on I&C wastes • Nothing on pre-treatment • Late on Prevention Plan • “actions” often to “look at”, “Explore” or “Encourage”
Action • Voluntary responsibility deal – ESA (1) • MRF Code of Practice (2) • Hospitality VR deal (5) • LA recycling and waste services commitment (23) • Reward and Recognition scheme fund (24) • Waste collections (32) • AD Strategy (37) • EfW Guide (39)
More, Please! • Packaging recycling targets (26) • Food waste • Controlled Waste Regs (43) • National Waste Management Plan (47) • Landfill bans (51) and (54) • Waste prevention Plan (7) • PPS10, NPPF, Waste Local Plans • Green Investment Bank
Data • The edoc programme will modernise the way waste data is collected in the UK and ..... the ability to extract good quality data for businesses, regulators and government. • With the support of EU LIFE+ funding, the programme aims to create a national, internet-based system to monitor the waste journey from production to collection, transportation, treatment and disposal.
