Box 10: The SU recommended strategy For the medium to long term, a strengthening of the economic and regulatory framework ● ● to send clear signals about the direction of change; and to secure the desired change in behaviour along the production-consumption chain. This would be achieved through a series of measures including: substantive increases in landfill tax and new incentives on households to reduce waste and increase recycling by local authorities that wish to take this forward. For the short to medium term, a package of investment measures to put waste management on a more sustainable path. This would include measures to: ● ● ● ● increase waste minimisation; boost recycling; develop new technologies; and improve information/data/the research base. To support and deliver the strategy, these need to be backed up by effective delivery structures. This requires: ● ● ● clarity at the centre of government about the direction and focus of waste policy; a better link between policy and delivery on the ground; funding for new waste infrastructure to deliver the SU strategy; and ● the right skills and delivery structures at all levels to achieve change. This strategy builds on the Waste Strategy 2000 and moves it forward in a number of important respects 5.27 The proposed strategy reinforces the current Waste Strategy 2000, and adds to it by: ● ● putting waste reduction and recycling at the centre of the strategy as desirable and achievable goals; recognising that disposal and pre-treatment of waste will remain part of waste management for the foreseeable future; ● ● ● not specifying particular options from the centre but setting out the general direction that aims to realise the vision; setting out the policy instruments and delivery tools to make the change happen; and setting tougher and more challenging goals. Clear and explicit measures are needed to judge its success 5.28 Success will have been achieved when the goals set out above have been realised. In terms of intermediate indicators of success, those that are key are: MOVING FORWARDS TO A NEW STRATEGY 51
● ● ● ● reducing the rate of household waste growth to 2% per annum by the end of 2006 and in the longer term decoupling waste growth from GDP; 50% of households to be carrying out home composting by 2006; the roll out of kerbside recycling collections across England focusing on organics first; a target of at least 35% of household waste to be recycled or composted by 2010 and at least 45% of household waste to be recycled or composted nationally by 2015; In summary 5.30 Figure 11 summarises the links between the vision, high level goals, strategy and outcomes. The following chapters set out in more detail the proposals to strengthen the economic and regulatory framework (chapter 6); to invest in measures to put the country on to a more sustainable path for managing its waste (chapter 7); and to enhance funding and delivery structures (chapter 8). ● ● 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. 5.29 Boxes 11, 12 and 13 set out how waste management in England in 2015 may change depending on the progress made in implementing the strategy set out in this report.
