Recommendation 21:<br />
DEFRA and DTI should<br />
take forward a<br />
programme of<br />
development of new<br />
technologies or<br />
approaches, including<br />
pilots.<br />
Benefits: broaden<br />
options for managing<br />
waste; kick-starts<br />
investment prior to<br />
landfill tax reaching £35.<br />
Reduces risk to<br />
government of <strong>not</strong><br />
meeting Landfill<br />
Directive.<br />
Provides LAs with a lowrisk<br />
way to try innovative<br />
options.<br />
Risks: money <strong>not</strong> well<br />
targeted – DEFRA to<br />
form technology board<br />
to provide advice on<br />
options to assess pilot<br />
schemes.<br />
Until landfill tax<br />
increases<br />
significantly, there<br />
is no incentive for<br />
new technologies<br />
in the waste area.<br />
LAs need to use<br />
proven<br />
technologies and<br />
are reluctant to<br />
take risks. Grants<br />
will pump prime<br />
the development<br />
of options and<br />
reduce the risk for<br />
waste companies<br />
and LAs who can<br />
fund in<br />
partnership with<br />
government.<br />
