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 />

Start now,<br />
