  1. UKWIN AGM The Changing Face of Waste and Resources in the UK 21st March 2009 Peter Jones, OBE ecolateraljones@btinternet.com

  2. Why are we Here? • Regulatory and climate drivers • Landfill uneconomic • New technologies • Market expectations • Energy policy = Opportunities

  3. ATTITUDE TECHNOLOGY ECONOMICS The Three Musketeers of Policy Implementation

  4. Waste in the UK Source: DEFRA

  5. Drivers in the Waste Resource Sector (=Composition/Mix Impacts) Waste Minimisation Process Change MarketChange IPP Energy Integration Composition Shifts Composting TechnologyChange Recycling

  6. Great Britain - Waste Sectors Total Value £8bn (including taxes)

  17. Recycler The Carbon Competitors Energy Boy Landfiller Composter Form Long term - Handicaps- Planning Consents - Taxes- Better odds elsewhere - Traded Permits- Renewable targets - Import dependency on rivals- Rising logistics costs- High value prizes- Improving technology • Low value prizes- Staying power • Plenty of local runners • Cheap setup • Soils directive • Low distribution costs • EU targets • Energy trends • High value prizes • Traded Permits • Producer reuse Early Faller Expensive Thoroughbred Regular Winner Stayer Good ValueAll Rounder
