Welcome to Food Waste Collection and Processing 2010
Reducing food waste has been deemed critical if the UK is to meet international targets on climate change. With landfill tax increasing to £48 per tonne this year and the Government confirming that standard rates will not fall below £80 per tonne in future, now is the time for action.
But are government incentives and targets influential enough to drive change?
Materials Recycling Week are proud to present Food Waste Collection and Processing – the essential forum for Local Authorities, waste management companies and waste processing firms.
Do not miss this exclusive opportunity to:
- Access insight into new government policy and legislation and discover how investment in food waste management is being centrally incentivised
