Summary
Annex E shows that 260,500 tonnes of household waste would be prevented by implementation of this Action Plan. Measurement of individual action points will be carried out by various means depending on which of our partner organisations are involved. However, the true impact of these measures should be reflected in the local authority waste data collected by SEPA on a quarterly basis.
The commitment to halt waste growth in the National Waste Plan relates to municipal waste i.e. all waste collected by local authorities. We will continue to work with Envirowise and Business Environment Partnership to address the non-household element of municipal waste as well as commercial and industrial waste generally. We will also ensure that data collected by SEPA reflects household and commercial waste arisings separately as far as this is reasonably practicable.
Commitments in this Action Plan will be reviewed on a regular basis in collaboration with our delivery partners. We will also ensure that we share information on waste prevention measures with DEFRA and the other devolved administrations. This Action Plan will contribute to the Scottish Executive's wider objectives on Climate Change and Sustainable Development.
