Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 131
Received: 05/09/2017
Respondent: West Midlands Resource Technical Advisory Body (RTAB)
In the context of the area's growing economy and the continuing significance of manufacturing, RTAB would urge the explicit recognition of and support for the concept of the circular economy and the associated improvements in resource efficiency, productivity and competitiveness that this could bring to the Black Country. Progress towards the circular economy will require support for more sustainable and innovative waste management provision, embracing new technologies and adapting to changes in waste recycling and energy recovery trends.
