Recycling businesses in the United Kingdom working to divert construction industry waste from landfills are being offered the opportunity to boost reprocessing capacity by applying for funding though the new capital grant program launched by the Waste & Resources Action Programme.
WRAP is working with the construction industry to achieve the objectives set out in the Government’s Waste Strategy Review - halving waste to landfill by 2012 – by engaging with all stages of the construction supply chain. From policy makers and clients, designers and contractors through to waste management contractors, collectors and processors, WRAP is helping them to reduce, reuse and recycle waste.
Establishing a robust infrastructure that can provide the reprocessing capacity required to achieve this target is therefore a critical consideration and to help industry address the challenge, WRAP has launched a new capital grant scheme.
