As the UK approaches the first EU deadline for reducing landfill, waste is back at the top of the agenda. If the UK does not meet the requirements, the country will face an initial fine thought to be around £180 million. If the second and third targets are not met - in 2013 and 2020 - then the estimated fine could rise to £500 million.
Issues to be discussed:
How to fund waste projects from a legal perspective
The solutions for the biodegradable fraction of both mixed residual waste and source-separated waste
How to deal with kitchen food waste; the options and their consequences
How the London Waste and Recycling Board help deliver the Mayor's vision for waste management in London
How to meet the 2013 waste targets in London.
