WRAP will be focussing on four key areas to deliver its targets, and a more resource efficient future.

Our priorities

During this Business Plan (1865 kb) we are focussing on four priority areas. 

By focussing on these four areas, and working with our partners we aim to:

  • Divert 8 million tonnes of waste materials from landfill.
  • Save 5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions.
  • Generate £1.1 billion of economic benefits to business, local authorities and consumers.

The four priorities

1. Packaging

The manufacture and disposal of packaging is of great concern to consumers and policy makers alike.

2. Food waste

Every tonne of food waste prevented has the potential to save 4.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

3. Collection systems

We aim to help local authorities maximise the potential of a well designed collection system to meet recycling targets and respond to the demands of the public.

4. Quality of materials

We continue working on benchmarking the costs and efficiency of local authority recycling collection systems.
