Waste Policy Tracker
Topics:
Ahead of the development of a new Waste Management Strategy, DAERA has published a Waste Policy Tracker to act as a ‘one stop shop’ for stakeholders and members of the public to stay informed of the Department’s ongoing waste policy developments. The page contains a timeline that shows the next significant developments at a glance, and links to detailed updates on individual policies within the Tracker.
The full policy tracker is also available to download at DAERA Waste Policy Tracker | daera-ni.gov.uk.
Going forward the tracker will be updated on a quarterly basis.
