Waste Implementation Programme: New Technologies

Waste Technologies Advisory Committee

Following on from Number 10’s Strategy Unit’s review of progress towards delivering the National Waste Strategy 2000, Defra have launched the Waste Implementation Programme (WIP). WIP has five Defra-led, and three WRAP-led work streams. One of the Defra work streams is on New Technologies.

The New Technologies work stream focuses on the biodegradable element of Biodegradable Municipal Waste (BMW)

The Waste Technologies Advisory Committee has been set up to determine successful projects and allocate funding of R&D and demonstration projects in support of technology and processes to reduce and divert BMW from landfill and up the hierarchy.
