The Green Investment Bank (GIB) should offer funding for waste and recycling infrastructure in the UK, it has been claimed.
Campaign groups and local bodies gathered at the Associate Parliamentary Sustainable Resource Group (APSRG) event yesterday (July 14th) to voice their opinions on investment in the industries.
Officials from Friends of the Earth and the Local Government Association (LGA) claimed the GIB, an organisation which is set to support green technology, could finance future schemes, reports lestsrecycle.com.
Martin Wheatley, programme director for environment and planning at the LGA, claimed more funds are needed to expand the waste and recycling sector.
He told the website: “We do need to motivate investment in infrastructure. I agree that the government’s plans for a Green Investment Bank should be the potential source for this.”
The growth of these industries could lead to increased uptake of waste and recycling machinery.
Typical Guttridge equipment used in the recycling industry includes; conveyors – screw conveyors – chain conveyors – belt conveyors
