For waste that cannot be avoided, we need to develop an integrated management infrastructure that utilises a range of available treatment technologies to underpin better service provision, not just by local authorities but by an emerging private waste industry. There is already a sound policy foundation on which to build. Changing our Ways, 1998, set the basis for a strategic regional planning process, emphasising the need for a dramatic reduction in reliance on landfill in favour of a range of preferable waste treatment options. This policy approach was further developed in Preventing and Recycling Waste: Delivering Change, 2002, which provides for a package of new initiatives, funding and revised organisational structures to deliver accelerated change.
