SUEZ Webinar | Shaping the future of waste sector in the UK

At a recent conference SUEZ asked 50 local authorities to list down their top three asks for the new government in our sector and the way forward to a resource efficient, more circular economy, and their top three asks were:

1. Clear timelines and targets are crucial for effective decision-making and execution over the next five years by local authorities and their service providers. (EPR, DRS and Simpler Recycling).
2. Funding is essential for implementing any new policies and for updating or replacing existing infrastructure to handle the upcoming policy demands in terms of new materials being captured at the kerbside or sorted at the MRF etc.
3. It is vitally important that a consistent national campaign around effective recycling participation, building understanding of better consumption and busting myths about the sector will be essential to boost behaviour change.

Are these priorities the same as yours?
