4.12 Waste Producer and Industry Involvement

The waste industry need to be involved in the implementation of the AWP, as they will in many cases be the major providers of investment in new infrastructure and provide considerable expertise in the management of wastes. Local businesses and industry must have their waste management needs addressed to ensure that the Scottish Economy is supported by the National Waste Strategy and that good practice is promoted to all waste producers. To ensure the effective input of the waste management industry and waste producers, local fora will be established to identify local needs, utilise and share local knowledge and expertise.
