“…….to provide for measures, procedures and guidance to prevent or reduce as far as possible negative effects on the environment, in particular the pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil and air, and on the global environment, including the greenhouse effect, as well as any resulting risk to human health, from landfilling of waste, during
the whole life cycle of the landfill.”

Regional Waste Mgmt Regional Waste Mgmt StrategyStrategy
A region in which natural
resources are used and managed
efficiently so that by 2025 the
amount of waste produced will be
minimised, the overwhelming
majority of materials will be re-
used, recycled, or have value
recovered from them, and the
environment will be protected and
enhanced for future generations.

• Resource management ethos
• Emphasis on minimisation
• Targets for recycling and recovery
• Alternative options - recovery targets
• Integrated approach to management
• Rapid increase in recovery capacity
• Pragmatic self sufficiency & press London to reduce exports
• Land use & wider management
Outline of Consultation DraftOutline of Consultation Draft
Landfill Directive and National Waste Strategy 2000 recovery targets are met and exceeded through recycling, composting and digestion, and energy recovery, with minimum disposal to landfill
Reflects views expressed in consultation with stakeholders
Preferred OptionPreferred Option
Implications of Preferred Option Exceeding statutory targets
(minimising landfill) increases the challenge
Need for rapid increase in recovery capacity & management, and many new developments & sites
Recycling and composting takes time to develop - could place reliance on energy from waste in short term

Major and urgent challenge Need to tackle growth in waste Need for rapid build up of
capacity Need for a large number of new
recovery facilities and sites Need for recovery to be
incentivised Need for recycling to be made
easier than disposal We all must play our part
ConclusionConclusion
Consultation, including workshops, to 23 June 2003
Policies will form amendment to RPG9 and part of Regional Spatial Strategy
Submission to GOSE end 2003 Further consultation & Public
Examination before approval by SoS
