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.

The estimated quantity of glass packaging placed on the market & recycled from 2017 to 2025 and the probability of compliance with national & European recycling targets.

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.

This report explores the existing evidence about the effectiveness of providing factual information (including content, source and format) on the environmental sustainability of a product, and its impact in influencing consumer (individual and organisational) buying decisions.

WRAP is working in partnership with industry to develop a viable process to improve the identification and sorting of post-consumer packaging (including PET, HDPE and PP) suitable for food-grade application. The phases below provide an update on the progress made so far and the remaining challenges. For the latest report (2016) looking at fluorescent markers, see Phase 6.

Field trials conducted during the 2017 growing season in the UK have shown how the use of smart technology, combined with training and greater supply chain collaboration, can help maximise crop yields.

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.
