“The future of waste management needs a radical rethink. We need to squeeze more out of the existing options but we also need to go much further than that…”.
HEAD OF WASTE MANAGEMENT, UK CITY COUNCIL
The recycling and landfill targets of 2009-10 and 2012-13 are two complex milestones for UK local authorities. To meet them, you need to squeeze extra efficiency out of your existing options as well as understand the risks and relative cost effectiveness of emerging technology options.
So, as you prepare for both targets at once, you need to develop robust strategies for handling waste recycling and residual treatment. And these strategies need to achieve a balance between cost-effectiveness, quality of service and the environment.
But how you deliver these strategies in the context of public opposition on waste incineration, and a lack of universal engagement on re-cycling?
And can greater waste efficiencies really be achieved through adopting new technologies?
LBC is pleased to present the first waste management conference to be exclusively researched and produced from a local authority perspective
