Preventing Waste

The greatest environmental benefits and cost savings to individuals, businesses, and local authorities will be delivered by producing less waste in the first place.

Much of the environmental impact of a product arises in its manufacture and use, before it reaches end-of-life as waste, so consideration of the products we buy, and how we use them, is crucial.

14

How much can business save?

Did you know?

UK businesses could save over

£22 billion via low and no-cost

resource efficiency measures.

15

How can we do waste prevention with Municipal Waste?

We are seeking to extend people’s commitment to recycling towards wider actions to prevent waste.

We want people to see the benefits of extending the life of things they own and use, and for them to think about repair and re-use before considering replacing them.

We also want it to be easy for people to be able to borrow, hire or source second hand or recycled products.

16

How much can we save with MSW: e.g. Food?

For example, food retailer and manufacturer signatories to the Courtauld Commitment have contributed by improving the way food products are packaged, labelled and sold.

Between 2005 and 2009, 670,000 tonnes of food waste have been prevented in the UK.

Phase Two of the Courtauld Commitment, launched in 2010,maintains the focus with an ambitious new target on household food waste.

17

Food Waste from Manufacture,Distribution and Retail

Around 50% (8.3Mt) of all UK food waste comes from households.

At least 60% of this waste is avoidable and could have been eaten at some point.

Almost 25% (3.57mt) of UK food waste comes from manufacture, distribution and retail.

Significant opportunity exists to prevent this waste, estimated to cost businesses £5billion.

18

Cost of food and drink waste in the UK

The cost to individuals of avoidable waste is estimated from

retail prices current at the time of the original research

(autumn 2007 and spring 2008).

The total cost is £12 billion per year (to two significant

figures), or £480 per household per year.

19

How for C&I waste?: Provide Information and Support to Businesses

Create a Waste Prevention Fund – a small rotating fund to

support organisations (including businesses, social enterprises

and local authorities) undertake waste prevention activities. This

Fund will be managed by WRAP.

2. Encourage and facilitate the expansion of SME Waste

minimisation networks.

20

Development of a Waste PreventionProgramme

We will develop a fuller Waste Prevention Programme for England by December 2013.

This will continue the progress towards a zero waste

economy by setting out detailed actions to enable

Better resource efficiency and waste prevention.

Recycling – now and in the future

Presentation summary

I want to answer three questions today:•Where are we now with recycling?•What needs to happen – what are the targets?•How can we get there?

About WRAP

WRAP works for all four governments across the UK to deliver greater resource efficiency.

WRAP’s vision is a world without waste, where resources are used sustainably.

We help businesses, individuals and communities reap the benefits of reducing waste, developing sustainable products and using resources in an efficient way.

The waste hierarchy – recycling

Where are we right now?

Council HW recycling rate, 2009/10

Corby 41.6%

Daventry 47.2%

East Northamptonshire 30.6%

Kettering 44.8%

Northampton 38.2%

South Northamptonshire 49.8%

Wellingborough 34.6%

Northamptonshire County Council 45.4%

How does that compare to others?

• East Midlands = 45.7% (Jan-Dec 2010)• 45.6% (2009/10)• 44.5% (2008/09)• 41.9% (2007/08)

• Worst council in England = 15.3%• Best council in England = 61.8%• England average = 40.8%

What’s in the municipal waste stream?

Which materials get recycled?

What about other countries?

MSW recycling/composting rates in 2009:•UK = 40%•EU-27 average = 42%•EU best (Austria) = 70%•EU worst (Bulgaria) = 0% (!)

What targets do we need to meet?

• EU Landfill Directive – BMW landfilled in 2010/13/20 needs to be no more than 75/50/35% of 1995 arisings

• EU Waste Framework Directive – need to recycle, reuse or compost at least 50% of household waste by 2020

• NB: Scotland and Wales have both set targets to reach 70% recycling by 2025!

How can we meet those targets?

• By continuing to improve our existing systems – we’re still on an upward trend

• By getting the lower performers to match the performance of the best

• By persuading more people to recycle more things more often

• By making it easy to recycle – whilst ensuring quality is maintained

• By expanding the range of recyclable materials

What can be done in practical terms?

• Sign up to the WRAP/LGA ‘Waste Collection Commitment’

• Expand the collection service you offer?• Find ways to reward good recyclers• Help businesses (esp. SMEs) to recycle• Recycling on the Go – helping people

recycle when they’re out and about• Introduce separate food waste collection• Innovation (e.g. WRAP’s mixed plastics

work)

Thank you for your attention.
