Waste

Acting today for a better tomorrow
Wales has plans to be a zero-waste nation and the Well-being of Future Generations Act is framing new ways to get there.
Wales has the third highest recycling rate in the world and by reducing and re-using materials our small country is creating jobs, helping families save money and saving over 400,000 tonnes of CO2 being released each year.
Interested in more examples of how the Act has helped us work towards a zero waste, net zero carbon Wales?
