Sainsbury’s faces threat of court action over packaging


The evolution of the humble mobile phone Technology is the


cornerstone of any modern industry and the waste sector is no different. The most significant change has been the way the mobile phone is being used. Page 4


LINCOLNSHIRE TRADING Standards has initiated proceedings to take supermarket giant J Sainsbury’s to court for breaching the 2003 Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations for alleged excessive packaging on a beef roasting joint. Peter Heafield, head


Achieving Wales’ Holy Grail of zero waste Welsh Assembly


Government environment minister Jane Davidson gives an update on the progress being made in the Principality in achieving zero waste. • Page 6


of Trading Standards at Lincolnshire County Council, said: "Excessive packaging on goods can cause unnecessary damage to the environment and increases costs associated with recycling and landfill. Lincolnshire County Council has a duty to enforce regulations which require businesses to review and reduce their packaging so that items are packaged only in a way that is necessary for issues such as protection of the product and consumer acceptance. Following a consumer complaint about a product available in Sainsbury's, Trading Standards carried out an investigation


which has resulted in the matter being brought before the court."


A spokesperson from


Sainsbury’s expressed surprise at the council’s decision to take the issue further. The Sainsbury’s


spokesperson said: “The packaging of the product in question has now been reduced by 53% and is set to be reduced by at least another 10% within the next few months. As such, we were surprised by the comments made by Lincolnshire County Council, which do not reflect the very positive outcome of our meeting with Lincolnshire’s packaging team. In fact, we have been informed that the council, in light of that meeting, is currently looking again at whether it will proceed. “Packaging is essential to ensure food remains fresh and undamaged, thereby preventing food waste, and we are committed to finding ways to reduce it while ensuring it remains functional.”


Friends of the Earth


welcomed the announcement that Lincolnshire is taking action against Sainsbury's. FoE’s waste campaigner Julian Kirby said: "Excess packaging creates enormous mountains of waste and squanders valuable resources and the bill for dealing with this is picked up by cash-strapped consumers and council waste services.


"Supermarkets must take their environmental responsibilities seriously and ensure that they minimise the amount of packaging on their


products. And the government, which is currently considering its waste strategy, must come up with tough targets to ensure that manufacturers and retailers reduce the waste they create." FoE went on to point out that the coalition has yet to respond to the previous government's packaging consultation.

Dr Adam Read, practice lead for AEA’s resource efficiency and waste management group also felt that supermarket giants like Sainsbury's could be doing more to minimise packaging. “Clearly supermarkets and their suppliers have made a great deal of progress in light-weighting their products, changing their supply chains to increase efficiencies in storage and transport, and supporting local recycling programmes through advertising in store, provision of facilities etc, but there is much more that they can be doing in helping to drive forward more resource efficient solutions for packaging in particular. “So they need to make better choices about which products they sell and which


suppliers they use. They have the buying power to influence supply chains significantly and they need to use this for positive benefit sooner rather than later. Perhaps this decision will be the beginning of an evolutionary journey for supermarkets and all other retailers in reviewing their products and considering the improvements they can make,” added Dr Read.


Bob Gordon, British Retail Consortium head of environment, stated: "It's completely wrong to suggest that packaging equals waste. Packaging reduces waste by doing the vital job of protecting and preserving products. "Adding to food waste by allowing food to be damaged or to 'go off' is far worse for the environment than making intelligent use of packaging to prevent that waste.


"All the major food retailers have signed a commitment to minimise packaging by ensuring they use no more than is absolutely necessary to do that job."


According to the Lincolnshire Echo, the court case is expected to take place on 12 October.

HE 30 September is a date that will reverberate through the collective consciousness of business leaders through the UK. This is the date when


organisations will need to ensure that they have registered for the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.


Much has been discussed about the scheme throughout the business community and in parliament and it is quite evident that there remains some confusion about the impact it will have on businesses. It is apparent that many organisations have


not yet fully appreciated the urgency of the fast approaching deadline date. Latest figures (as of mid-September) from the Environment Agency put the number of businesses currently registered for the scheme at 2,200 - that’s just under half the estimated 4,000 big energy users classified as core scheme members. It is vital that those affected by the


scheme are prepared for a future that will require effective carbon measurement and management.


In the short term there are significant consequences for non-registration. Businesses who do not register by the September deadline could face big fines - a one off £5,000, plus £500 for each working day late, up to a maximum of 80 days.


In total, inaction could lead to businesses facing fines of up to £45,000. What’s more, a publicly available national league table of energy performance will be developed as part of the scheme to reveal both the best and worst performing businesses – giving an added imperative for businesses to get their carbon management in order. Where previous schemes have tended to focus on energy-hungry heavy industry, CRC specifically targets non-energy intensive groups including local authorities, NHS trusts, police authorities and business sectors such as retail,

SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE District Council has raised its composting and recycling rate from 44% to 70% in just twelve months. This increase is said to follow the introduction of the council’s new recycling scheme, which incorporates a dry recycling service and a food waste collection.


The scheme, which is being rolled out in Vale of White Horse District Council, covers more than 55,000 properties and is reported to have enabled South Oxfordshire to achieve one of the highest recycling rates in the country. Since the scheme’s launch, the amount of waste sent to landfill has fallen by over 50%. It is estimated that the new service, which has been designed and implemented by Verdant, has generated up to £850,000 in recycling credits and saved approximately £350,000 of taxpayers' money. As part of the new food waste system, the council is using a 7-litre kitchen caddy and 23-litre kerbside caddy supplied by Straight. Through the food waste collection the council has managed to divert

more than 6,000 tonnes of food waste away from landfill. David Maidman at Verdant said: “The 7-litre kitchen caddy and 23-litre kerbside caddy are quality products which provide a simple but effective food waste collection system for residents to use.

property and production. Under the scheme, an organisation must register as a participant if it has one or more half-hourly electricity meters, and it used at least 6,000MWh of half-hourly electricity during 2008. The majority of organisations will simply be required to make an information disclosure to the Environment Agency administrators about their electricity usage once every few years. However, around 4,000 organisations will be required to participate fully. As well as recording and monitoring their


CO2


emissions each year. Participation also means having to record all energy consumption - not just electricity, but gas and other fuels - and record this in a ‘footprint report’. In addition, the scheme aims to incentivise improved performance by publishing an annual league table, showing the comparative performance of all participants. The better an organisation performs in terms of reducing its emissions, the higher it will appear in the table. The idea is that as organisations sell allowances under the scheme the revenue raised will eventually be given back to participants and the league table position affects how much of the revenue each organisation receives. Put more simply, CRC is akin to a tax return for energy. While many organisations such as hotels or local authorities may already have a good understanding of environmental issues in terms of waste, travel plans and energy certificates for example, they may not have specific knowledge yet of the detailed monitoring and reporting required for the CRC scheme. In fact, it is widely regarded that awareness of the CRC scheme is low, particularly from senior decision makers. A recent survey from software company,


emissions, these organisations will also be required to purchase allowances equivalent to their CO2


Version One, revealed that when 139 senior finance professionals were asked about CRC a worrying 27% admitted that they hadn’t heard of the scheme.


With awareness seemingly low it is vital that organisations act now to ensure they are fully prepared.


What to do now? With time running out there are a number of practical steps that business should consider to ensure they are not caught out by the scheme. These are as follows: • Don’t hesitate, register now – Organisations should register as far in advance of the registration deadline to allow time for the Environment Agency (EA) to review and rectify any errors in the submission. This includes anti-money laundering checks for the company’s designated ‘CRC senior officer’. This will mean that organisations that are planning to leave it till the final day may end up having a nasty shock, which could delay their registration and land them with a hefty fine.


Bags Balers


• Get your data in order - Ensure that you have a reliable and consistent carbon data management system in place. For example, some organisations are simply using a standard spreadsheet to calculate their carbon emissions, yet this may not meet the requirements of the EA’s evidence pack. In the first stage of registration, organisations need to put in place measures that will ensure that data capture, measurement and reporting is accurately set up. To support businesses Landmark recently worked with environmental consultancy SKM Enviros to develop a tool that will offer help to organisations who may fall under CRC. It is a web-based application called Carbon Counter (www.carboncounter.co.uk), which has been designed to help organisations map out their structure in an easy to follow format. Crucially, the tool will help organisations to decipher whether they are ‘in’ or ‘out’ of the scheme.

The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme has caused consternation across the business community where it is clear that many companies have not yet signed up to it. David Mole provides guidance on how organisations can best tackle the scheme to avoid both a costly fine and potential reputational damage.


For associations, equipment and services... Associations


Standard revealed that nearly half of finance heads (48%) do not have a clear corporate target for carbon reduction, with 74% not measuring their carbon footprint at all. It is crucial that senior managers and finance directors understand the potential financial and reputational impacts of CRC. PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that finance directors risk increases to their annual energy bills of up to six per cent and could potentially face even higher charges by failing to plan adequately for the implementation charges. Possibly more importantly to senior decision makers is that the CRC will put businesses’ reputations on the line. In a world of increasingly environmentally savvy individuals the consequences of having a poor standing in the CRC league table could have significant damage to a company’s image.

• Be carbon efficient – Smart companies could ultimately benefit from CRC by using it to track down where they can reduce energy waste and save money. The Carbon Trust calculates that by simply turning lights off in areas that aren’t being used, businesses could shave 15% off their energy bills. Only last month energy and climate change minister, Greg Barker put out a call for businesses to register advising that “CRC will encourage significant savings through greater energy efficiency and importantly will make carbon a boardroom issue for many large organisations.”

the ‘simple and elegant box’ created by Race Cottam. The completed building is also currently on target to achieve a coveted BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, with various aspects of the design contributing towards this goal. A and A+ rated materials are being used wherever possible and the aim is to source 40% by weight of the project materials from within a 30 mile radius so that transport requirements are reduced. Heat produced by the waste processing process will also be used to heat and cool the building to induce natural ventilation through stacks in the adjacent two-storey office and visitor centre.


Sims offers Spelthorne free e-waste collection


SPELTHORNE BUSINESSES and residents are being urged to clear out their broken electronics and take them along to a three-day event being held at Sims Recycling Solutions in Ashford, where they will be recycled for free. The event runs on 22, 23 and 24 September 2010. All types of business and household electronic waste


will be accepted and staff will be on hand to help with unloading.


The event is being hosted by European Recycling Platform (ERP), the Surrey Chambers of Commerce and Spelthorne Borough Council as part of a drive to increase the amount of electronic waste that is recycled. Louise Punter of Surrey

Edinburgh clean-up of papal visit goes well


Oxon runs live cookery demonstrations


LIVE COOKERY


demonstrations will once again take place on Oxfordshire streets over the coming weeks to highlight how people can save money by wasting less food. Organised by Oxfordshire Waste Partnership (OWP) and supported with donations from local food supplier, Fresh Direct, these events are intended to show how easy it is to use up some of those foods that may normally get thrown away. Over the past eighteen


Recycling & W A S T E WO R L D d3 3


months council officers have been encouraging people to 'Love Food Hate Waste' and over 10,000 across the county have made a pledge to do something to waste less food. Paul Mocroft from OWP has


been coordinating the 'Love Food Hate Waste' campaign on behalf of the county and district councils. He said: “Our mobile kitchen got such a great response from the public last year we decided to get out on the streets again with some new recipes."


THE CLEAN-UP of Scotland’s capital is reported to be complete following the papal visit thanks to a recycling and waste operation larger than that provided for Hogmanay. The operation saw Viridor join forces with the Scottish government and Edinburgh City Council to provide, without charge, a range of environmental, educational and Scottish branding opportunities for the visit. The company had over


fifty Viridor personnel on hand during the day providing recycling, street cleaning and waste management services, working in addition to the council’s in-house team. With the world watching, 40,000 Saltire flags were on display thanks to Viridor, including in the St Ninian’s Day Parade which saw 1000 pipers join school children from across Scotland pass through the streets of Edinburgh. Parade participants were also fed and watered


with a packed lunch featuring recycling information. Martin Grey,


Scottish communications manager for Viridor, said: “With the eyes of the world on Scotland, Viridor was delighted to play its part in ensuring the capital has its best foot forward. The state visit attracted a global audience of those from all faiths and none. Through our established relationship with the capital and the church we were delighted to help when asked, and to do so for free.


“Working together with the


city ensured the streets were in tip-top condition, and that we recycled as much as possible from the waste created on the day. The packed lunches we provided give us the opportunity to remind children from across Scotland of the importance of recycling and, with the 40,000 Saltires, they put on a good show for the world,” added Grey.

AS ONE of just three countries worldwide with a statutory duty to sustainability Wales has long been seen as an environmental pioneer. I believe that nowhere is this better illustrated than in Wales’ stance on energy from waste. Towards Zero Waste, the waste strategy for Wales, highlights the necessity of reducing the amount of waste we produce, and of achieving high levels of recycling. But it also recognises that the question of residual waste must also form part of our conversation. Towards Zero Waste provides us with a clear direction for technology change and identifies the preferred treatment options of anaerobic digestion and highly efficient energy from waste.

As a strategy it refuses to sidestep the contentious issue of energy from waste, or dismiss it as not being a green option. Ultimately it is time to engage the public in a balanced debate that positions technology and treatment change as an opportunity for us to harness new sources of energy and create green sector jobs. Waste Awareness Wales research, to be published this month, shows a significant shift in attitudes in recent years, with many people now accepting the need for, and the use of energy from waste plants. People are beginning to understand the simple, practical logic of creating clean energy that can power local communities and homes over the traditional approach of throwing rubbish in the ground. There is still a long way to go.

This acceptance remains at the abstract and national level, and can easily become opposition at the local level. We will all need to work closely with our communities, and invest in effective consultation and honest consultation if we are to convert national awareness into local acceptance. As an industry we must begin to employ a simplified conversation.


As we grapple the issues of resource efficiency, and the link between waste, energy and the wider social good we will need to set out the whole of the problem, while making the whole of the community a part of the solution. We must then ensure that the plants that we build deliver on our economic, environmental and social promises.
