Waste not want not - States Assembly

7. CHAPTER STRATEGIC HEADINGS INVESTMENT MEASURES
Summary
The changes described in chapters 5 and 6 need to be backed up by
practical measures now if we are to achieve a sustainable system of waste
management.
This requires a balanced package, which will:
(i)
reduce the rate of growth in waste quantities through an expansion
of home composting, the promotion of waste minimising measures in
the retail sector and encouraging the design of new products
specifically to reduce biodegradable waste;
(ii) expand and develop the infrastructure for recycling through a
programme of best practice advice on the collection of materials, the
development of recyclate markets, and kerbside, bring and civic
amenity site design;
(iii) provide better information and advice to households and businesses;
(iv) improve the quality and range of data and research on waste by
improving the co-ordination of existing surveys and data, increasing
dissemination, filling critical gaps and ensuring efficient data
collection systems; and
(v) promote new technologies and approaches to waste management
through a package of technical support and advice and a programme
of pilot studies.
