A lighter carbon footprint - the next steps to resource efficiency

WRAP's new Business Plan 2008-2011 - launched at CIWM, 11 June 2008

WRAP is taking a fresh approach to the collective challenge of improving resource efficiency. Our goal is to ensure that the UK reduces waste and recycles as much as possible at minimum net cost. This will enable us to increase resource efficiency, reduce landfill and lessen our contribution to climate change, while generating positive economic impacts.
