Future Perfect

Published October 2002

This publication Future Perfect falls into 4 different choices for handling waste arising in the UK between now and the year 2020. We then analyse the process blockages (real and imagined) which both aid and prevent the achievement of those different choices of exit solutions.

Finally we return to the predictions we made 7 years ago in our publication 'Waste: A Game of Snakes & Ladders' regarding the perceptions of and implications for industry in general and (because of its sheer tonnage significance) the construction sector in particular.
