Albion Environmental Ltd is pleased to announce that a new funding to support Local Authorities in carrying out waste compositional studies is offered by Zero Waste Scotland. A maximum of £15,000 will be funded to each successful local authority to cover up to 75% of the costs for the project. Early applications for the fund are recommended as all project expenditure will have to be claimed by 31 March 2014.
Albion Environmental Ltd are an experienced provider of waste compositional analysis for a range of organisations. The application process must be completed by the local authority however we would be pleased to provide assistance and guidance where required.
The data from the compositional waste analysis can be used by Local Authorities to:
- Monitor and improve existing recycling schemes. Analysis will enable you to identify how much of the recoverable material in the household waste stream is currently being recovered and how much is remaining in the residual waste. This will help provide information to focus the continued improvement of council recycling schemes.
- To implement and develop new recycling schemes. Analysis will help provide baseline information from which predictions can be made on how much material could be recovered from a new scheme.
- To assess the input materials in Materials Recycling and Treatment Facilities.
Further information on how to apply for this funding can be found at the Zero Waste Scotland website: http://www.zerowastescotland.org.uk/node/14749
