eaders have called on the government to be brave in its approach to waste and recycling policy.
According to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), there is a great deal of growth potential in the waste and recycling market, and it is up to central government to allow waste re-processors to harness it.
In its new report, Making Ends Meet: Maximising the value of waste, the CBI says that an ambitious waste policy will help the country achieve carbon reduction goals, as well as helping recycling firms to thrive.
Dr Neil Bentley, CBI Deputy Director-General, said that the government could well miss a trick if they do not act on this issue soon.
"Rather than being viewed in isolation, waste management should be seen as an important part of the green economy and our growth strategy," he added.
Waste Watch head of communications Sam Jarvis recently claimed that with government help, the UK could easily recycle as much as 60 per cent of its waste.
Typical Guttridge equipment used in the recycling industry includes:
Conveyors – screw conveyors – chain conveyors – belt conveyors
