Efficient Resource Management
What's the agenda?
Municipal wastes are said to be resources in disguise, but how
do waste managers turn rhetoric into reality? LATS targets are
looming but how do we get the best picture of what goes in the bin?
Are waste compositional analyses robust and reliable? What level of
detail is needed if the information is to be of practical use in
evaluating what schemes and waste recovery options are most
effective at local level? How do you target your efforts in the
most productive areas? How can the community and voluntary sector
come centre-stage in recovering and reusing waste?
