This pioneering initiative aims to revolutionise waste management and promote a circular economy. By introducing charges for waste disposal, it encourages reduction and recycling. Collaboration among policymakers, businesses and the public is vital for its success. Extensive information dissemination to the commercial sector is needed for seamless adaptation.
Stay tuned for our next session at the end of April, addressing challenges faced by the retail and catering industries. Let us make a lasting positive impact on our environment!
