  1. WASTEMINZ Towards a national waste data framework

  2. Why is data important  • Informs national, regional, and local policy, strategies, and plans • Meeting international reporting obligations • Monitoring and measuring policy effectiveness • Identifying waste service and infrastructure needs and gaps

  3. Why is data important continued… • Designing and implementing new services and monitoring the adequacy of existing services • Providing information for the ongoing delivery of waste management services • Providing education and feedback to users of waste services and other interested parties

  4. The Drivers For Action • Data has gained importance since the introduction of the WMA • Determining effectiveness of waste levy • Many councils are looking at this individually (this could make things complicated and expensive)

  5. Potential solution • Three key elements needed • Definitions and standards (what are we measuring?) • Systems for capturing and consolidating data • Responsibility for providing/recording data

  6. Outcomes sought • Consistent definitions • Standardised systems • Clear roles and obligations • Ability of Central Government to meet international reporting requirements • Improved information for policy/decisions

  7. Progress • Clusters of authorities have already been talking • WasteMINZ has subsequently become involved • Discussions with key stakeholders including… • Industry, government agencies et al.

  8. Path forwards • Proposed application to WMF • WasteMINZ would coordinate the application • Likely two stage (feasibility and then implementation) • Funding needs to come from somewhere! • Strong consultation focus • It’s not going to immediately be the great panacea • Designed with future scalability in mind
