The Partnership’s vision

Rethinking our waste 

 

By everyone working together, we will reduce, reuse and recycle more. This will protect the environment and save resources.

Approach 

We have identified the following priorities for Essex: 

Move to a circular economy 

Where natural resources are used efficiently and products are designed to be durable, easy to repair and recyclable. 

Apply the waste hierarchy 

By designing services that prioritise waste reduction, reuse and recycling, and recovering energy and materials from waste that can’t be recycled. 

Collaborate and innovate 

With each other and with government, businesses and communities to create a more sustainable waste system. 

Educate and engage 

By listening to feedback and delivering information and initiatives to support residents and businesses to reduce waste and recycle more.
