Regional partnerships

Managing our resources

If landfill is not an option, then Wales has to build new waste treatment facilities capable of dealing with our waste in the future.

While every council in Wales is committed to recycling 70 percent of our waste, they will still need to develop new facilities that can treat the waste that is left over.

This means large scale infrastructure change. From locating buildings and facilities to developing new technologies, creating a zero waste Wales will require a huge national effort. 

To meet this challenge, councils across Wales are joining together in regional partnerships.  They aim to develop the most sustainable, cost effective and practical solution for dealing with the waste that is created in your region as a whole.

Planning for the development of a new waste treatment infrastructure will involve us all.  From European, national and regional governments to local councils and local communities – we all have a say.
