The new year is a great opportunity to reflect, to better understand the achievements and lessons learnt from previous years, and that is exactly what we’ve been doing at WRAP. In 2020, WRAP undertook a review of the training opportunities available to local authority officers involved with the development, implementation and delivery of waste and recycling services and since then we have been working on addressing some of the apparent gaps in provision.
As we say goodbye to 2021, and hello to the new year ahead, plans are being put in place to help make 2022 a success. Businesses, Local Authorities, and individuals alike are implementing new year’s resolutions and continuing to tackle the challenges of COVID 19, supply chain difficulties, and climate change. To this end, Cromwell have highlighted three key considerations for the year ahead.
