Binned Waste Programme - ‘Composition and Weight Project’

Tender description

Binned Waste Programme - ‘Composition and Weight Project’ A contractor is needed to design and deliver robust data on the amount and types of packaging waste placed in street bins managed by Local Authorities (LAs) in the UK. Specifically, data on the: • Weight – weighing of street bin waste to inform modelled calculations for binned waste produced by each LA in the UK • Composition – the weighted composition of street bin waste (with a focus on the proportion attributable to packaging materials), produced by each LA in the UK • Number - of certain ‘commonly binned items’ (whilst also identifying possible new commonly binned items). • Cleanliness - the contractor will be required to develop a simple form of assessment (for England only) to provide understanding of the extent of packaging that has not been disposed of in a street bin but potentially could have been (for example, due to bin overflow).
