Waste Management

The Regional Assembly is promoting a step-change in waste management over the next 20 years through maximising recycling and recovery and minimising landfill. The adopted alterations to the current regional planning guidance (RPG9) are on GOSE's website. Further waste management research and background material is available in the publications and research section.

The Regional Assembly is a partner in the Interreg 3C project "European Waste Management" (www.waste3c.org). Our work has focused on recycling, in particular assessing the amounts of certain materials collected (paper and card, plastics, glass, wood), where these materials are reprocessed and used in manufacture of new products (their market).

We also reviewed how much is exported overseas from South East England, what drives such movements, and whether more could be captured within the South East region or country of origin (for economic and environmental benefit). The project ended in November 2007 and some of the main outputs from our work are available to download below.
