Welsh sector plan to deliver zero waste
A municipal sector plan for waste in Wales has been published to help the country recycle 70% of waste by 2025 and to be zero waste by 2050, targets set out under its Towards Zero Waste strategy.
The sector plan also emphasis-
es Wales’ commitment to weekly collections of food waste, and recycling and fortnightly collec- tions of residual waste. At least 80% of Welsh homes already ben- efit from a separate food or food and green waste collection.

To achieve this, the Welsh Assembly Government is urg- ing councils to adopt the most sustainable and cost-effective recycling methods. It has also committed to working with local authorities to help them achieve municipal recycling targets which are legally binding.
Announcing the sector plan, Welsh Environment Minister Jane Davidson said: “I want Wales to be a world leader in resource man- agement, and I want Welsh coun- cils, Welsh businesses and Welsh
workers to benefit from being a high recycling society. Our plans are based on evidence, not ideolo- gy. They combine legislation with an expectation that councils will work closely with the Assembly Government to develop the most sustainable and cost-effective recycling services.”
Consultation will also open on proposals for how recycling can boost Welsh business, by collect- ing quality recyclates and keeping it in Wales as a raw material for Welsh industries.
