Labour does a u-turnon landfill ban for food waste

摘要

The Labour Party's decision to drop plans to make a ban on food waste being sent to landfill part of its 2015 election manifesto has been slammed by companies that convert food waste into reusable energy, fertiliser and animal feed. "Labour's backtrack on banning food waste to landfill is hugely disappointing news for the entire waste management sector,"said Philip Simpson, commercial director at ReFood. "In the next five years, landfill sites across the UK will be nearing capacity, which makes minimising the volume of unnecessary waste and increasing recycling figures absolutely essential."
