What are you views on the proposed Strategic Objectives?

Element 2 – Establishing material recovery systems

  1. To move from the concept of ‘waste origins’ to that of ‘resource streams’.
  2. To predict and quantify future material resource streams requiring management in Hampshire.
  3. To identify the requirements for the primary extraction of materials in Hampshire.
  4. To identify the realistic potential for segregating key resource streams (see below) for reuse, recycling and/or recovery.
  5. To identify the preferred options for management of the segregated resource streams, mixed materials and residual waste.
  6. To identify infrastructure required to achieve the above needs.
  7. To identify opportunities/synergies between the household, commerce and industry resource streams to maximise reuse, recycling and recovery.
  8. To establish a long-term plan for landfill.

 

Table 2

Initial Views
  • Too much jargon.
  • Needs to be made clearer if going ‘public’.

Rewording
  • ‘Long term plan for landfill – could read this as arguing for landfill. Why is it here?
  • No reference to lifestyle in these principles.

 

Table 3

Initial Views
  • Needs to cover ‘in and around Hampshire’.

Rewording
  • Cut jargon out.
  • Needs to be more specific for clarity and understanding.
  • Need to identify long term plan for eliminating landfill.

 

Table 5

Initial Views
1 – in order to make change, we need to get across that we are considering resources - PR exercises.

2 – cannot predict/quantify unless measured - feeling that all materials are not measured - industrial and commercial streams.

  • Really concerned about data - don’t use assumptions.
  • Correct that we have a landfill or perhaps a residual waste disposal need.
  • Woolly.

Amendments
3 – need to go back to minerals dialogue process as needs changing to cover recycling.

Additions
  • Recognise and be open about data gaps - must first understand what we are dealing with
  • Communication of resource streams to public.
  • Location of facilities - centralised vs. smaller facilities
  • Encouraging on-site recycling as part of major engineering works.
  • Missing some of the principles determined during the Minerals dialogue process.

 

Table 6

Initial Views
  • Measurable - apply to what is currently defined as waste. Would need individual targets for individual waste streams.
  • These should be government targets.
  • Time based - Objective 8 should have targets related to landfill directive and MRS legislation.
  • Final plan should have action plan with actions and dates for achievement.
  • Establishing the systems are critical to achieving delivery on the ground - most need to be done as part of preparation of strategy.

Amendments
5 – needs to be flexible depending on technological development and quantities/type of material.

6 – add ‘markets’.

7 – consider combining with/linking with objective 1.

8 – should this be looking at ‘residues’ not ‘landfill’?

  • Need to take account of environmental and cost issues also.

Additions
  • To identify funding mechanisms.
  • To identify legislative issues.
  • To identify agencies involved in establishing systems.

 

Table 7

Initial Views
2 – prediction of waste arising is key to making plans for future needs, rather than having a demand/reaction approach to waste management facilities.

3 – important also to predict primary extraction but include recycled aggregate uses, in conjunction with this.

To identify the requirements for the primary extraction of materials in Hampshire whilst bearing in mind the opportunities for use of recycled materials.

Amendments
4 – change to :To identify the realistic potential for segregating key resource streams and resources within those streams’

8 – the final objective re. landfill is too narrow - change to ‘long term plan for disposal of waste that cannot be reused or recycled’.

 

Table 8

Initial Views
  • Should include wording ‘To identify and implement’.
  • Timescale – identify actions for next 12 months - implement by the end of this decade. Identification of resource streams and infrastructure needs to be next year.
  • Recycling sites need to be uncovered.

Amendments
8 – to establish a long-term plan for landfill disposal of residue change wrong. We don’t have time! TIME is running out in Hampshire and West Sussex by 2006.
  • Reduce amount going to landfill to absolute minimum (nothing else can be done with it).
  • Reduce biodegradable waste going to landfill.
  • Landfill tax a motivator (needs to be regulation and fines more than extra £3/tonne)

Additions
  • (Don’t turn rubbish into rubbish)
  • Getting right markets
  • Bringing in expertise and best available technology from elsewhere worldwide.
