The Challenge

• The waste industry is changing rapidly
• There is going to be much less of this. . .

4
And much more of this . . .
5
So new facilities will be needed

• Where ?
• How many ?
• What kind ?

6
So new facilities will be needed

• Where ?
• How many ?
• What kind ?

To answer these questions we need information
7
The Problem

• Information is available BUT there is
• Lack of accuracy
• Insufficient detail
• Inconsistent classification
• Lack of codes
• Confusion over terminology
• Ageing data

IF YOU CANT MEASURE IT YOU CANT MANAGE IT
8
Data Advisory Panel established to address the
problem

• Objective TO PROVIDE NATIONAL WASTE DATA
  COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION SYSTEM
• Include all waste streams (except radioactive)
• Meet the needs of all stakeholders
• Apply UK wide with staged implementation
• Provide up to date, quantitative data

9
National Waste Data Strategy

• The new strategy will
• Pull together existing waste data via a Data
  Warehouse (or hub)
• Build an integrated system
• Allow users to access and download reports
• Enable users to model data to create further
  reports for policy making, target setting,
  planning, forecasting, monitoring and decision
  making

• The Data Warehouse will enable data to be
• Accessed via Defra
• website
• Managed
• Disseminated
• Analysed

12
Rubbish IN Rubbish OUT

• The quality of the output depends on the quality
  of the input
• Therefore all data returns need to be timely,
  accurate and complete
• Quality IN Quality OUT

13
ClassificationsStandardisation and Consistency
EA guidance and Waste Thesaurus

• EWC to replace existing mix of codes and
  classifications leading to consistent reporting

14
Improving Efficiency

• Benefits from Electronic Reporting
• Assistance through drop-down boxes and look-up
  tables
• Faster creation and processing of returns
• Real-time validation
• Information available sooner

15
Phases

• PHASE 1 - 2006
• Waste guidance and Thesaurus available from the
  Agency to help develop a common language and
  understanding
• Browse, print and download ready made reports
• PHASE 2 - 2007
• Integration of GIS and spatial data
• Data available in Excel spreadsheets
• Consult Northern Ireland and Scotland on joining
  the strategy
• LATER
• Registration and different levels of authorised
  access
• Users able to create own reports

16
Potential

• Geographical Information System
• Manage waste as a resource

GIS Screens
17
SUMMARY

• More waste must be diverted from landfill
• To build new facilities for a sustainable economy
  timely, accurate and consistent data is
  essential
• The National Waste Strategy will deliver this
  data
• Keys to success will be electronic reporting, EWC
  codes and GIS
