| Short description: |
The Government’s key objectives are to:
• decouple waste growth (in all sectors) from economic growth and put more emphasis on
waste prevention and re-use;
• meet and exceed the Landfill Directive diversion targets for biodegradable municipal
waste in 2010, 2013 and 2020;
• increase diversion from landfill of non-municipal waste and secure better integration of
treatment for municipal and non-municipal waste;
• secure the investment in infrastructure needed to divert waste from landfill and for the
management of hazardous waste; and
• get the most environmental benefit from that investment, through increased recycling of
resources and recovery of energy from residual waste using a mix of technologies.
