The Waste DPD will facilitate the development of a network of modern waste management facilities across Merseyside and Halton, which will enable us to manage our waste more sustainably.
Climate change is affecting many aspects of our lives and improved waste management has a key role to play in minimising these changes. Landfill disposal is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore moving waste management away from reliance on landfill and towards the use of more sustainable technologies is beneficial for our environment and health.
In order to enable this shift to take place the Waste DPD will provide a robust and supportive policy framework. It will also allocate suitable sites for new waste management facilities throughout the subregion.
