Waste: the National Picture
England and Wales produce over 100 million tonnes of waste each year (excluding construction and demolition waste) – a figure which until recently has been growing at around 3 per cent annually. Waste cannot be eliminated but its environmental impact can be lessened by preventing waste where possible, and making more sustainable use of the waste, through recycling and designing products that use fewer materials and processes that produce less waste.
