A waste if we don’t wise up

PAY-as-you-throw rubbish collections and packaging that’s 50% recyclable would be a waste revolution, says an industry firm.

Better efficiencies could generate £9billion, reckons waste manager Suez.

Its poll found almost a quarter of people blame sandwich and fast-food containers for most litter.

Suez also wants to see a deposit-return scheme for plastic bottles.

It called for “a revolution where the notion of waste is consigned to the bin”.
