Preparing for re-use: a roadmap for a paradigm shift in Wales

A roadmap for a paradigm shift in Wales

The Roadmap estimates the impact that increased preparation for re-use would have on the wider Welsh economy. As well as looking at the impact on the national re-use, recycling and composting rate, the Roadmap presents the outputs of modelling to estimate the impact with regard to: jobs and volunteer posts created; avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; and direct and indirect added value to the economy resulting from increased preparation for re-use activity. It presents a view on the level of action and intervention that would be needed to achieve different levels of preparation for re-use, including a transformative paradigm shift in Wales.
