Jonathon Porritt: "What a Waste?"

Link to web site

"Utter the words ‘the waste industry’, and most people’s thoughts turn automatically to seagulls wheeling noisily over smelly landfill sights, wheelie bins and wrangles over waste collections, and dodgy dealing off a Steptoe and Son broken-down lorry. Every single aspect of last week’s RWM Exhibition (organised by EMAP at the NEC) gave the lie to that utterly redundant set of perceptions.

"In every field of waste management, resource efficiency and recycling, the whole place (which seemed to go on and on forever!) positively bristled with new technologies, innovative ideas and companies, and a sense of dynamism and forward-looking energy that I found incredibly uplifting."
