Waste

Welcome to the Waste Working Group

The waste working group has been established to examine every aspect of sustainable waste management.

We all see - and generate - rubbish every day. But they way we deal with it leaves much to be desired.

Over 81% of our waste ends up in landfill or is buried, just 11% is recycled, and 8% is incinerated. It is clear we need a step-change in the way we manage it: doing nothing is not an option.

But we need solutions that are not only good for the environment and but also good for business and for council tax payers.
