  14. Diversion by Outlet 2011 vs 2010

  15. Waste Hierarchy

  16. Landfill ban of carpet waste? • Landfill ban could accelerate material recovery • Must be implemented over a timeframe to allow building of capacity for recycling • Hurried ban could lead to : • Increased incineration – lack of UK capacity will lead to export of carpet to incineration in Europe • Lack of carpets for development of recycling infrastructure

  17. CRUK Position • Set targets to show progress in diversion rates • Continuation of Landfill tax escalator beyond 2014/ 15 • Landfill ban with 5 to 10 year transition period • Voluntary commitment preferable to legislation

  18. Summary • Carpets emerging as valuable raw material source • Interest from innovators in using fibres in new products • Landfill ban potential driver for innovation if: • Sufficient timeframe for implementation; and • Coupled with increase in landfill tax
