Consultation on Mayor's draft municipal and business waste management strategies
Back to index
November 2011
In seeking to reduce waste and increase recycling FDF members look to Government
and the Mayor to provide clear, joined-up policy which does not inhibit
businesses in making medium to long term investment decisions.
FDF response to consultation on the Mayor's draft Business Waste Management
Strategy
FDF members have been working to optimise their use of packaging and to reduce
food and packaging waste arisings for some years. Under our Five-fold
Environmental Ambition members are committed to sending zero food and packaging
waste to
landfill by 2015 at the latest and making a significant contribution to WRAP's
Courtauld Commitment 2 target to reduce product and packaging waste in the
supply
chain by 5% by end of 2012 against a 2009 baseline. View the FDF response.

FDF encourages all local authorities to act in a more consistent way towards
collection of household packaging waste and thereby removing one of the current
obstacles to achieving higher recycling rates, maintaining the quality of
recyclate
and developing new end markets. View the FDF response.
