The changing face of waste management
and emerging markets
Andrew Craig
1990s• 1990 Environmental Protection Act• 1991 Planning & Compensation Act (waste local plans)• Very cheap landfill – but increasing regulation (beginning of
end of dilute & disperse)• Making Waste Work (1995)• Environment Act establishes Environment Agency (1995/6)• Aspirational targets (25% recycling not achieved)• Waste estimated, not weighed - changes• NFFO incentive for EfW• Introduction of landfill tax (1996)• Beginning of producer responsibility (1997)• PPG10 and Regional Technical Advisory Bodies on waste
Early 2000s
• Waste Strategy 2000• Statutory recycling targets (“Best Value”)• Waste Incineration Directive (end of the old
incinerators)• Cabinet Office review establishes WRAP (2002)• Regionalisation• Landfill Directive and LATS• WasteDataFlow• PFI for waste (2003)
Later 2000s
• Waste Strategy 2007• Landfill tax escalator• National Indicators• Renewables Obligation• Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation• Courtauld Agreement & review of packaging
targets• Love Food Hate Waste
2010 Onwards• New Government, new doctrines• “localism”
– No more local authority targets?– Regions abolished (RTABs)
• End of PFI• Fiscal deficit (public sector shakedown)• Producer Responsibility (more targets for private sector)• AD• Revised Waste Framework Directive:
– Recycling Targets– Other waste streams (C&I, C&D)– End of Waste– “R1” Formula
• Better information (2010 C&I surveys)• Renewable Heat Incentive
Landfill tax escalator:
2011/12 £56/tonne2012/13 £64/tonne2013/14 £72/tonne2014/15 £80/tonne floor
Possible but unlikely:• Landfill bans
• EU fines for infraction
What these drivers will do:• “Waste management” & recycling will become less of a local
authority issue. Local authorities’ focus will be on public health, public equity – and issues of “General Interest”
• “Resources management” will become more of a private sector issue, at every level. European and world markets.
• Private sector organizations will look to resources management to meet their own needs, so:
• Information and intelligence about waste/resources will be important intellectual property (Supply chains);

What these drivers will do:• “Waste management” & recycling will become less of a local
authority issue. Local authorities’ focus will be on public health, public equity – and issues of “General Interest”
• “Resources management” will become more of a private sector issue, at every level. European and world markets.
• Private sector organizations will look to resources management to meet their own needs, so:
• Information and intelligence about waste/resources will be important intellectual property (Supply chains);
• Biowastes and, eventually, plastics will become commodities as fossil resources become more expensive and riskier, technologies improve and Government interventions have unintended consequences;
• Simple, single solutions (landfill, mass burn EfW) will become a thing of the past.
