Notice Title

Award of RESAS/016/25 - Consultation Analysis on Reducing the landfilling of biodegradable and ot...

Notice Description

This Call for Evidence (CfE) seeks to support consideration of extending the landfill ban to include non-municipal biodegradable wastes by:- filling information gaps on the types of waste that could fall under an extended ban, as well as their characteristics and environmental impacts;- filling information gaps on the feasibility of alternative (non-landfill) treatment options for wastes that could fall under an extended ban;- supporting consideration of any barriers to diverting wastes from landfill;- To understand if there are wastes for which landfill remains the best option and- considering other policies, their timings and interactions with an extended ban that could support the diversion of waste from landfill.In addition, this CfE uses the opportunity to gather evidence on other wastes, including those that are non-biodegradable, that could be banned from landfill to move the management of these wastes further up the waste hierarchy and to reduce the environmental impact of their disposal.
