Waste
Envirolink Waste Programme
The NW region produces over 24 million tonnes of waste each year. Around 4.5 million tonnes of this come from households, with almost 10 million tonnes from industry and commerce and the remainder being mostly construction & demolition waste.
In response to this situation Envirolink Northwest has established a new Waste Sector Support Project funded by NWDA and DEFRA’s Business Resource Efficiency & Waste (BREW) programme and contributions from many of the region’s local authorities. This new programme has four main elements.
