78 pages and not one mention of Real Nappies or 'disposable'....FRN gets a brief mention....and I even saw the words Big Society...but don't hold your breath!
Better get a coffee and settle down to read this weighty tome!

Waste Review....comment and analysis...of a sort!
Early themes from the CIWM Conference where the Waste Review will be announced seem to fixate on weekly/fortnightly collections, SME's getting more involved in recycling and the new WRAP Business Plan.
All very important issues for UK Waste Industry but I can't help feeling that the enormity of the waste/low carbon challenge just isn't going to be fully addressed.
Let's face it...mass consumption is the issue here. We can play around with end of pipe solutions but if we want to make a real impact on waste and the carbon impact of waste, then we need to address sustainable consumption....and really tackle the major retailers and manufacturers....let's hope the Waste Review won't shy away from that....if it comes out at all today...laes tweet shows Radio 4 Press Announcement for 9.30am was canned at the last minute!"
