Wales is still wasting too much material and resource, particularly in construction. We know that from the evidence produced by Welsh Government and CEW’s waste team, we also know that good work is being done to address the problem. What’s more, if we embrace the principle of a circular economy we can move forward with confidence.

What are the specifics? What is going on right now about waste in Wales.

The answer is here: 4th July at the Policy Forum for Wales seminar Policy on waste in Wales - next steps for management, energy generation and the circular economy. The seminar will include a keynote address from Andy Rees, Head of Waste Strategy Branch, Welsh Government. Further planned sessions focus on managing waste to deliver the target of recycling 70% of waste by 2025, developing the circular economy and progress so far in gaining energy from waste and the potential for further action.
