Issue - meetings

As one of the partner organisations in Project Integra, to consider the Action Plan to cover the period 2018-2021 and to recommend it to the Council for approval.

RECOMMENDED:

That the Project Integra Action Plan 2018-2021, as attached at Appendix 1 to Report Item 4 to the Cabinet, be approved.

The Cabinet considered the action plan for the Hampshire Waste Partnership, Project Integra, to cover the period 2018-2021.  While the Partnership was one of the best examples for the high level of diversion of waste from landfill, the performance on recycling rates was falling behind other county partnerships. The new action plan would focus on improving performance, a wider range of materials to recycle and reducing the cost of managing waste in Hampshire.  The proposed 10 key actions for the following 3 years were set out in Section 4.1 of the Action Plan.

The Council’s contribution towards the cost of running the Partnership, calculated on the basis of the number of households, was set out in Table 2 of the Action Plan, and in 2018/19 totalled £15,225.  Subject to minor variation as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices the budgeted income from dry mixed recyclable materials was £418,000 and £66,000 for glass.  The Partnership would continue to seek out sustainable and profitable markets for recyclable materials.

RECOMMENDED:

That the Project Integra Action Plan 2018-2021, as attached at Appendix 1 to Report Item 4 to the Cabinet, be approved.
