Waste Management: Statements.

 

In so far as policy is concerned, we have laid out our stall very clearly in the Changing Our Ways and Delivering Change policy statements. The approach on which they are based is centred on respect for the waste hierarchy of prevention, minimisation, re-use, recycle, recovery and safe disposal. We took this approach because it is widely respected and applied internationally, not least at EU level where it forms the basis of the EU Community Waste Management Strategy. It has provided the basis for the successes of the best waste performers in Europe.
