Shanks welcomes new Responsibility Deal between Government with the waste and resource sector

Shanks welcomes the new 'Responsibility Deal' announced yesterday.


Tom Drury, Chief Executive of Shanks Group Plc said;

"The Responsibility Deal sets out actions that will make a real difference to reducing the amount of waste produced in this country while recognising the potential of waste as a resource.


The Deal's commitment to help businesses do the right thing is something we are passionate about at Shanks. A lot of businesses are unaware of the impact of waste on their bottom line and through our Recycling Stars programme, we are working with businesses large and small providing advice on how to improve

their recycling rates.


The Waste Policy Review was a missed opportunity in providing clear targets and timelines to help us become a zero waste economy, but we are hopeful that this Deal will go some way in delivering progress."
