Reuse Optimisation
I have advised extensively on optimising reuse systems at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). Well designed and managed reuse systems can significantly improve the recycling performance at HWRCs (far beyond just the reuse items diverted from disposal), as well as bringing social, environmental and financial benefits.
I contributed to the HWRC section of the Waste and Resources Action Programme’s (WRAP’s) Re-use How To Guides, including reuse performance benchmarks, predictive modelling of material flows for different reuse scenarios, operational considerations and describing different approaches partnership working.
I also helped the Reuse Network to develop best practice in the optimisation reuse from bulky waste collections, including financial modelling of a complex range of factors affecting bulky waste recycling/reuse economics, drawing on practical case study examples.
