Even now we could not convene groups that would take on this discussion within food, construction and the key sectors we are interested in. It will be tricky for the Minister to set specific reuse targets for construction, for example, because there are a lot of moving parts. However, the need to have the sector thinking about how it can adopt more circular approaches is urgent. We still have sites where everything is just thrown into a big skip and nothing can be recovered. It all becomes waste. It seems that there is an opportunity to build some momentum even ahead of these targets. It will be challenging to set them as well as to reach them.
