The UK Plastics Pact is leading a global wave of change in the way we make, use, reuse and dispose of plastic. The UK's model is being replicated in other countries to form a powerful global movement as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy initiative. Since April 2018 the Pact has made meaningful progress working towards the four ambitious targets.

Join Marketing Executive, Harriet Rockliff-Nally, in a simple walk-through of how to edit and adapt WRAP communications materials, using Adobe InDesign.

This webinar will help collection crews understand the problems caused by contamination in dry recycling. We will run-through our practical and interactive training sessions, which you can adapt to your own collection system and procedures on dealing with contaminated containers.

Join WRAP economist Peter Sainsbury, author of the Plastics Market Situation report, in a discussion on key developments in the plastics sector, specifically looking at how the amount of packaging produced and the closing of overseas export markets could impact local authorities.

WRAP has launched a series of market situation reports providing in-depth information on the latest economic trends and developments facing the UK’s recycling industry. Each report focuses on a different material stream and is presented in a compact, easily digestible format.

WRAP’s Gate Fees reports summarise the fees charged for a range of waste treatment, recovery and disposal options. It aims to assist local authorities in making better informed decisions about waste management options and to benchmark what they might be expected to pay.

In this webinar from July 2019, we share our learnings from the last 12 years on separate household food waste collections, to help local authorities to introduce collections for the first time.

A webinar detailing learnings from WRAP and Resource London’s projects to help tackle contamination in your Local Authority.

This guide explores the challenges and opportunities in accepting commercial and industrial (C&I) waste at HWRCs (Household Waste and Recycling Centres) and Waste Transfer Stations (WTS).

This webinar was designed to help local authorities effectively plan and develop communications that support service changes, whether it’s the introduction of a new waste service or changes to existing recycling schemes.

This report has been produced to support Defra in its understanding of the current levels of on-the-go (OTG) single use drinks containers that are placed on the market (POM), consumed, recycled or disposed of in the UK. Specifically, metal drinks cans, plastic and glass drinks bottles, drinks cartons and drinks pouches were researched. Defra requires estimates that are as accurate as possible for its packaging policy
work, therefore every effort has been made to provide error margins and robust assessments wherever possible.

This guidance is intended to help local authorities maximise the benefit that they obtain for the dry recyclables collected as part of their provision of waste services.
