A report for Zero Waste Scotland reviewing the potential for a range of community-level and community-led measures to prevent litter. The study draws upon existing case studies to consider a number of actions including: Maximising the litter prevention potential of litter picks; Motivating behaviour change through a range of incentives; [...]
Eunomia’s third annual Recycling Carbon Index Report shows that the CO2 emissions savings from local authorities’ waste and recycling services have improved markedly between 2012/13 and 2013/14 despite the levelling off of English recycling rate performance. Recycling by local councils across England, Wales and Northern Ireland saved more CO2 in [...]
A Clean Sweep sets out a series of measures to help prevent litter. The report focuses on using financial and other incentives to deter littering behaviour and encourage product innovation to make commonly littered items less problematic.
