The launch of the new APSRG report on financing new waste infrastructure was a great success, with over 150 delegates,
including Group members, parliamentarians, and representatives from across a wide range of organisations
with an interest in the development and financing of new waste management infrastructure attending,
to find out more about the report and the suggestions made within.


Jamie Reed MP commented:

'I would like to pay tribute to the APSRG and their work on this report..its findings need to be acknowledged and actions should surely follow was a result'.


While Dr Alan Whitehead noted:

'8billion is going to be needed in investment in plant and handling facilities and in recycling and reprocessing and closed-loop facilities; that investment will have to go on £15billion by 2030.. and the question of where that comes from, what barriers there are, whether people will actually lend as far as the risks that are very clearly set out in this report are concerned is a further major issue.
