  3. Component 2 - Landfill and Reuse (2) Planned Action • Set criteria for planning and enabling appropriate after-use on restored landfill sites • Study strategies of overcoming public opposition against waste management developments Co-operation • Learn in particular from Halle and Fryslan • Share potential solutions/practices with all partners

  4. Component 2 - Landfill and Reuse (3) Phasing • Until End 2005: Share experience with partners about planned actions • Then: Investigate favourable options further Budget • Staff time - David Payne (South East England Regional Assembly) - Regional Component Lead

  5. Component 3 - Separate Collection (1) Challenges • Low proportion of waste recycled and composted • Poor and voluntary participation rates • Export of large proportion of recyclable material to other regions and out of UK Objective • Learn about cost-effective techniques and end markets for collected material • Learn how to develop a ‘culture’ of waste reduction/ reuse/recycling • learn best from partners how to influence public attitudes and behaviour

  7. Component 3 - Separate Collection (3) Phasing • Until End 2005: Share experience with partners about planned actions • Then: Prepare studies for favourable options Budget • Staff time - Dave Ricketts (Surrey) - Regional Component Lead; also Les Mockford and Lesley Hunt (Adur), John Gower (Environment Agency) • Small-scale study on each topic (promoting recycling and markets) - ca. 11000 Euro available

  8.

  9. Component 4 -Organisation Structure (2) Planned Action • Study advantages and disadvantages of UK collection, disposal and planning system, and role of public and private sectors Co-operation • Learn in particular from Fryslan, Halle and Recycling Institute • Share potential solutions/practices with all partners
