Incentives
Implementation of service
Funding support for those who implement the service standard

14. Technical Assistance Focus on Systems Support projects within systems
Use of funds in the upper tiers of the hierarchy

15. Systems Set the service standard – design for performance and quality
Clear basis for action
Funding of packaging and EPR products
Funding of Packaging (and product) aspects from EPR
Funding of biowaste collection and treatment / containerparks or CA sites– use OP Funds
(provision of residual waste treatment / disposal – ATUs and EPR)
Incentives for Implementaion
Incentivising performance
