● ● better resourcing of the waste function in DEFRA to help it to co-ordinate and disseminate waste policy more effectively and take a proactive approach at the centre of government; and establishing a steering group, chaired by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to help implement policy and monitor progress. Successfully implementing this strategy is not just a matter for central government. Everyone has a role to play ● central government needs to set the strategic and policy direction on waste management; put in place the framework to support this strategy; disseminate information and have a clear national communications strategy; contribute appropriately to the local authority funding needed to make the necessary changes; minimise and recycle its own waste; and procure recycled goods; ● ● ● – dissemination of the national communications strategy in the context of local needs; and – providing incentives for sound waste management. producers and retailers need to reduce the amount of waste they produce; pass on less waste through the supply chain to customers; and use recycled materials wherever possible; the waste industry needs to provide an appropriate range of waste-handling facilities, in line with government policy and regulatory requirements; identify and pursue opportunities for developing new technologies; and take responsibility for the long-term safe operation and aftercare of waste facilities; householders need to reduce the waste they produce, for example through home composting and purchasing goods with less packaging; reusing products; using recycling facilities; and contributing to collections for composting facilities where home composting is not practical; and ● local authorities need to set a strategy for managing municipal waste locally; allocate sufficient resources to waste; and provide an appropriate level of infrastructure to support: ● NGOs and the community sector need to educate householders in minimising waste and reusing and recycling goods; develop partnerships with local authorities and – home composting to homes that want to compost; – kerbside recycling (focusing on organics business to help promote and deliver recycling services; and continue innovating on service delivery. first); – more bring sites and better civic amenity sites designed for re-use and recycling; – more practical support and advice for local people; Implementation of the strategy would enable England to match best practice in other countries and at lower cost – minimising and recycling the authority’s own waste; – buying and specifying composted and recycled products; The key success measures for the strategy in this report, if taken forward by government, will be: ● reducing the rate of household waste growth to 2% per annum by the end of 2006; EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 13
● 50% of households carrying out home composting by 2006; ● ● ● ● the roll out of kerbside recycling collections; a target of at least 35% of household waste being composted or recycled by 2010 and at least 45% of household waste being composted or recycled nationally by 2015; an absolute reduction in the amount of municipal waste going to landfill annually from 2007; and 30% of collection authorities to have tried incentive based schemes to encourage sound management of household waste by 2005/6. It needs to be backed up by effective arrangements for driving forward and monitoring progress The Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should be the Ministerial Champion for this strategy. But, in the short term a ministerial group reporting jointly to the Secretary of State and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury should develop the public expenditure programmes and arrangements needed to implement this report.
