4.10 Recycling Market Development

The waste screening process carried out as part of the national non-MSW framework has identified shortfalls in current infrastructure for the range of waste groupings. This highlights potential local and national business opportunities to develop and provide facilities and services to collect and reprocess waste materials.

Consultation has identified that local businesses and industry would like to recycle more of, and have improved access to local markets for, the following materials:

  • Paper and cardboard
  • Plastic
  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Oil

In response to this, the Tayside WSAG will establish a Recycling Market Development Group, with membership likely to include representatives from Scottish Enterprise Tayside, the waste industry, local waste producers, local authority economic development staff and SEPA. This group will seek to identify new local market development opportunities and encourage the establishment of additional local market capacity.
