  • Resource efficiency.

    WRAP works with local authorities, business and housholds to prevent waste, increase recycling and develop markets for recycled and sustainable products.

    It is our aim to create the case for change, support change and deliver change.

  • Our three priorities.

    By focusing on three ambitious, headline targets and four priority areas of work, while maintaining a broad-based competency across the materials and sectors that influence resource efficiency, will allow WRAP and its partners to deliver a lighter carbon footprint for the UK.

  • Our impacts
