2021/2 Objectives
To move the assessment forward the following should be undertaken over the next year:
- The LEP and both Councils embrace the circular economy and promote opportunities for the co-location of businesses to utilise waste as a resource.
- The LEP updates its draft industrial strategy to promote the circular economy.
- The Dorset Waste Plan is updated to include the latest waste data and GHG, recycling and zero waste to landfill targets.
- Dorset and BCP Councils create a DWP approach to implement a consistent waste management offer.
- Food waste recycling to be available to all Dorset residents.
- Both Councils and all public sector organisations seek to reduce the amount of waste they produce through sustainable procurement initiatives (as noted in Dorset and BCP Councils’ CEE action plans).
- Both Councils continue to provide advice to residents and businesses on how they can reduce, reuse and recycle their waste.
- Local communities are encouraged and supported to sign up to become plastic free.
