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. In this respect, a level of waste management provision to meet the 'equivalent self-sufficiency' approach might be regarded as a minimum, and the Black Country authorities might consider building in additional provision over and above this minimum to provide for flexibility and to maximise the economic and employment potential of effective and sustainable waste management.
