PILOT

Circular solutions for efficient visitor waste management and recycling services in the tourism sector

Visitors generate large volume of mixed packaging waste and often don't place waste in correct bins to allow recycling. We will work with entrepreneurs and visitors to increase circular economy using four processes concurrently for a maximum impact.

-|Summary=Norfolk County Council will demonstrate adoption of circular economy solutions in efficient management of waste generated by tourists in Great Yarmouth. Food and beverage sales generate packaging waste e.g. card, lined/waxed card and plastics using different polymers (plastic forks/polystyrene cups). Recycling is made difficult with mixed materials, further complicated by the presence of food waste. We will explore options to switch to cost-effective, locally produced packaging suitable for composting. We will explore options to standardize food/beverage packaging, collaborating with entrepreneurs to use the same recyclable material from a local source i.e. trays, cutlery and cups made from a single plastic polymer or using cardboard/paper packaging. We will seek local treatment facilities to increase circularity. We aim to streamline the recycling process, reduce waste and support adoption of a circular economy.
+|Summary=Currently, visitors generate a large volume of mixed packaging waste e.g. lined/waxed card & plastics contaminated by food and
+don’t place waste in correct bins to allow recycling. We will work with entrepreneurs and visitors to increase circular economy using 3 processes concurrently for max impact:
+) Adopt point of sales solutions e.g. locally made compostable packaging, & re-use schemes
+) Incentivise visitors through gamifying waste disposal e.g. reverse vending and interactive bins
+) Optimise street and business waste collection e.g. compacting smart bin and collection technologies, and for business waste services to explore new circular business opportunities to repurpose paper/card for e.g. pet bedding
+By motivating behaviour change to re-use & recycle and optimising waste management, we will increase recycling of SUP/aluminium making savings on energy recovery of €39,833,04/yr, and reduce waste vehicle journeys by 95850 miles saving €669,365.79. Carbon footprint reduced by 287.55 tonnes.
