The government’s Carbon Transition Plan published on July 15th had very little to say about recycling, preferring to major on wind power and home insulation.
But our industry figured quite prominently on one of the headline statistics. Whilst people who work in the energy management energy saving communities were puzzling over how the authors of the report got to the figure of 1.2 million people who work in “green-collar” jobs, we suggest that they add up all the people who work on waste collection and recycling in local authorities and private businesses.
Yes, we are now all part of the green collar revolution!
