The areas are: avoid and reduce waste generation; increase recycling; divert more waste from landfill and manage problem wastes better. The other two areas in the draft WARR strategy address litter reduction and illegal dumping. A public consultation on the Draft is open until December 16 (Recycling Laws International, 28 October 2013).
