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
This is Spinal Tap
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.
