Energy Recovery

Landfill


• Landfill ban could accelerate material recovery

• Must be implemented over a timeframe to allow building of capacity for recycling

• Hurried ban could lead to :– Increased incineration – lack of UK

capacity will lead to export of carpet to incineration in Europe

Lack of carpets for development of recycling infrastructure

Landfill ban of carpet waste?


• Set targets to show progress in diversion rates

• Continuation of Landfill tax escalator beyond 2014/ 15

• Landfill ban with 5 to 10 year transition period

• Voluntary commitment preferable to legislation

CRUK Position


• Carpets emerging as valuable raw material source

• Interest from innovators in using fibres in new products

• Landfill ban potential driver for innovation if:– Sufficient timeframe for implementation;

and– Coupled with increase in landfill tax
