An announcement was made before Christmas that nearly two dozen experts had bene appointed to assist with developing national plans to tackle barriers for expanding the reuse and repurposing of a range of materials otherwise consigned to landfill.
The taskforce commenced its work in November with the stated intention to look at both opportunities and challenges around reducing waste across a range of supply chains to assist national and local authorities to extract value from the waste sector and other industries. These ambitions are seen by the taskforce experts as simultaneously helping to address with UK-wide emissions reduction plans with effective implementation.
